“The complaints filed have been increasing, so much so that last year Cofepris published a black list of drug providers, so I always ask you to go to the website because I recommend that every time you go to buy a medicine, they see that their suppliers are not on these blacklists and these blacklists arise from the complaints that arrive”.
