2. Carton of different products with same content & claim: Same API claim does not impact the product quality,

3. Carton of different products with different content & claim: Different content with different claim may have severe impact on health.

4. Carton of same product with different label claim: Two type of mixing can be considered i.e. Carton depicting higher claim while inside strips with lower claim & vice versa. In both cases, if by taken by mistake, the medicine will either loose its effectiveness or will overdose.
