A Borivli-based Ayurvedic medicine store was caught on the wrong foot when a team of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raided the place and seized a number of allopathic tablets used for sexual stimulation packed and kept inside a jar. The officials said that the capsules were being sold at very high prices sans the required prescriptions from medical practitioners.

When the sleuths reached the store Bhagwati Ayurvedic at Jaya Talkies, Borivli West on Friday, they found the medicines – available in different shapes and sizes – wrapped in a piece of paper and stuffed inside a plastic jar. When the officials asked the shopkeeper about the tablets, he said the ayurvedic medicines, which were used for sexual stimulation, did not have any side-effects. However, he further revealed that the prices of the tablets were decided based on their effectiveness.
