Pharmacists and qualified individuals who apply for drug sale licences within the Islamabad Capital Territory must now reveal their current and past professional involvements nationwide, following instructions from the local Pharmacy Services and Drug Control department.
Official channels indicated that authorities promised strict legal consequences for anyone who submits untruthful declarations or hides details.
An advisory released by the department specifies that people asking for drug sale permits in the capital must accurately report any current or former professional connections tied to drug sale permits granted anywhere within the nation.
Data supplied by candidates will undergo verification through cross-references with appropriate Pharmacy Councils and drug regulatory bodies, according to the department.
Officials cautioned that hiding facts, giving false details, making misleading statements, or holding unauthorized multiple jobs could trigger regulatory and legal actions under current laws.
Potential penalties feature application denials, permit revocations where appropriate, and sending files to the appropriate Pharmacy Council for disciplinary actions.
Owners and holders of drug sale permits received advice to perform thorough checks before filing requests to guarantee adherence to professional and legal standards.
The department stressed that professional responsibility and openness remain compulsory, adding that breaches face prosecution according to legal statutes.
