Kali Lor Indah, arrested<br>\nthe house owners and seized hundreds of thousands of bogus<br>\ncapsules at midnight on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Adj. Sr. Comr. Safaruddin of the East Surabaya Police said on<br>\nTuesday that the fake antibiotic capsules were branded Deryclin,<br>\nRecomycin and Tetracycline.<\/p>\n<p>\"The operation was undertaken following complaints from<br>\npatients who had taken the products. Most of them said they had<br>\nvomited and had splitting headache after consuming the (bogus)<br>\nmedicine,\" Safaruddin explained.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the house owners, married couple Eko Budiono and<br>\nYuli, had been producing the bogus capsules for one year. \"They<br>\nadmitted to having distributed some 500,000 capsules to small<br>\nshops and roadside vendors.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"We also confiscated hundreds of thousands of unused capsule<br>\nshells, one hundred kilograms of cornmeal and the equipment used<br>\nto produce the bogus antibiotics,\" Safaruddin said.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting the couple, the officer said that the production<br>\nprocess was very simple. \"The cornmeal was roasted dry and then<br>\nchilled for 24 hours before chloroquine and dye were applied.<br>\nAfter preservatives were added, the substance was ready to be put<br>\nin the capsules.\"<\/p>\n<p>Several salesmen had been operating in Surabaya, Bima and<br>\nMataram, West Nusa Tenggara, Safaruddin said. \"A bottle<br>\ncontaining 1,000 capsules was sold at Rp 35,000. The original<br>\nproduct costs hundreds of thousands of rupiah. With a working<br>\ncapital of Rp 10 million, they said they got a minimum of Rp 1.5<br>\nmillion in monthly profit.\"<\/p>\n<p>According to the officer, other suspects, including salesmen,<br>\nwere still at large. \"We are very serious in handling the case.<br>\nIt is a question of people's lives.\" (nur\/sur)<\/p>",
