In the city of Andijan, Andijan region, and the Chilanzor district of Tashkent, individuals involved in the illegal trade of potent drugs were detained. This was reported by the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General's Office.

During an operational raid, it was revealed that A.Yu. was transporting 197 units of strong drugs to Andijan for sale. These drugs were seized from him as material evidence.

In another case in the Chilanzor district of Tashkent, citizen A.A. was caught red-handed while selling 50 units of the potent drug *Zardex* to citizen Sh.S. for 3.7 million soums.

Criminal cases have been initiated under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code, and investigations are currently underway.

For information, "Zardex" can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or discomfort. Some people may experience allergic reactions, including skin rashes, itching, swelling of the face or lips, and difficulty breathing.

This antibiotic also disrupts intestinal flora and destroys beneficial bacteria. In some cases, it can damage the liver or kidneys, alter blood composition, and cause headaches, dizziness, sleep disorders, or nervousness.

Earlier, in the Yangihayot district of Tashkent, a person was caught storing 16,249 units of the powerful drug "Zardex" in his rented house. A criminal case was initiated under Part 5 of Article 251-1 of the Criminal Code (manufacture, distribution, advertising, demonstration of products promoting potent substances that are not classified as narcotic drugs, their analogues or psychotropic substances, or illegal circulation of such substances or toxic compounds). A preventive measure of detention was applied.
