The Pharmacy Council of Nigeria has sealed 313 illegal patent medicine shops and 33 unregistered pharmacies in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and its environs.

The council said the clampdown was made when its national enforcement team visited the state, where about 386 patent medicine shops in three local government areas were inspected.

The Director and Head of the Enforcement Department in PCN, Stephen Esumobi, disclosed this while briefing newsmen at his office in Port Harcourt on Thursday evening.

Esumobi said over the years, PCN had established structures in states for effective engagement and regulation of stakeholders in the drug distribution chain across the country.
