Anti-malarial drugs found in border areas are substandard, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA collected drugs samples from private drug stores and at township hospital pharmacies in Tamu near the Indian border and Muse on the Chinese border.
The move aims to stamp out low-grade drugs, prevent drug-resistance developing and cooperate with the authorities to stop illegal imports.
