Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer:

Explanation:

In a major step, the Union Ministry of Health has banned multi-dose vials of human formulations of diclofenac, a painkilling drug that is responsible for the death of vultures in large numbers, reducing them to a critically endangered species in India and other Asian countries. The ban has come into force with immediate effect.

The painkiller was banned from veterinary use in India in 2006 because of its lethal effects on vultures, which feed on carcasses of treated cattle and buffaloes. But since then human formulations of the drug have been illegally used to treat animals.

The ban restricts diclofenac production to human formulations in a single 3ml dose, according to a note from BirdLife International, a global partnership of independent organisations working together for nature and people across more than 120 countries worldwide. In India it partners with the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS).
