In a joint operation with the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TANB), the state Drugs Control Administration (DCA) has seized illegally stocked cardiac stimulant drugs, Termin injections and Termiva injections (mephentermine sulphate injections) from Manikonda Jagir in Ranga Reddy District.
 
Sources from the DCA informed that these drugs were being sold illegally to gym-goers for abuse of bodybuilding.
 
The officials from the DCA of Ranga Reddy Zone carried out a raid in collaboration with the TANB at an unlicensed premise located at Sivaji Nagar in Manikonda Jagir. During the raid the officials detected stocks of the cardiac stimulant drug, 'Mephentermine sulphate injection,' which was stocked illegally and sold to gym-goers. These injections were being supplied for abuse by a person called, Bariga Akash.
 
During the raid, the officers seized stocks of 14 vials of Termiva injections and 4 vials of Termin injections (mephenteramine sulphate injections IP 30 mg/ml) from the possession of Bariga Akash.
 
Mephentermine sulphate injection is a cardiac stimulant primarily used to normalize decreased blood pressure (hypotension) that may arise from administering anaesthesia in spinal procedures during surgery. It is employed to elevate blood pressure in cases of hypotensive (low blood pressure) states. This medication induces increased release of noradrenaline, thereby enhancing cardiac output. By augmenting the pumping capacity of the heart and constricting blood vessels, it rapidly raises blood pressure. It is crucial to note that only a doctor should determine the appropriate dose and duration of this medicine for each individual.
 
Mephentermine sulphate injection, with its cardiac stimulatory action, is being misused to enhance endurance in bodybuilders. Certain gyms are illegally selling mephentermine injection to gym-goers who misuse it to improve physical performance in competitive sports or bodybuilding. But, abuse of mephentermine sulphate injections can result in various adverse effects, including psychosis, cardiovascular disorders and development of tolerance and dependence over time.
 
Officers of the drug control department D Swetha Bindu, drugs inspector at Gandipet, K Anvesh, drugs inspector at Shabad and G Ravi Kiran, drugs inspector at Rajendranagar were among the officers who carried out the raid.
 
The director general of the DCA, VB Kamalasan Reddy said the illegal stocking and sale of drugs is a violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, and individuals involved can face imprisonment up to five years.
