From: DOH Webpage

Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III today served a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) to four drug stores found violating the government’s Maximum Drug Retail Price (MDRP) program. The said CDO prevents drug stores from selling and offering for sale identified drug product sold at a price higher than the imposed MDRP. Said drug stores were given 72 hours to show valid cause in writing and present evidence why no further administrative or legal action should be taken against them. These four drug stores are Stardust Drug and Medical Supplies Corporation, Cheer-Up Drug Store, Sunburst Drug Corporation all in Rizal Avenue in front of the Department of Health and the South Star Drug located in Matalino Street, Diliman, Quezon City. Duque also visited the Santo Tomas University Hospital Pharmacy and found them complying with the government program.
