Prohibition of antibiotics sales without prescription
Kerala is prohibiting antibiotics sale without a prescription. Shouldn’t this be done across India? Everywhere chemists sell whatever you want without a Doctor prescription. Only problem with this prohibition is, Doctors take advantage sometimes. What is everyone’s views? more
Dispensing antibiotics over the counter by unqualified persons promotes quackery and is one of the important causes for organisms becoming resistant to antibiotics. On 23-Dec-2022 7:57 pm, Sunita Varghese wrote: more
Any professional service when costing more than the product consumed in the fulfilment thereof, is bound to raise question, especially when the end solution remains the same, about the need for the service. In India, affordability too a question. Developed nations such as the US, do follow the practice, where prescription are a must before selling antibiotics. To each their own. more
Because you can't visit a doctor everytime, because doctor consultation starts from 500-1500 and medicine costs 10-100 and middle/high class already knows it what antibiotic they are buying. Lower class is unable to pay high consultation for medicine prescription. This step will enable chemists to sell antibiotics on more than MRP, because someone is avoiding doctor's prescription to buy the medicine. more
Many doctors charge Rs.100-200 but plumber charges min.Rs.250/- and electrician Rs.100/- for replacing a switch, the cost of which is just Rs.30/-. So who is charging more ? more
Why antibiotics alone. For decades now, you can get even scheduled drugs without a doctor's prescription. When I graduated as a doctor 50 years ago, there were very few pharmacies in Madras (as it was then called) and you could not get any scheduled drugs without a proper prescription. The pharmacy will put a rubber stamp on the prescription so that it will be known that those drugs already been dispensed. But then things slowly changed with mushrooming of pharmacies and now you can get virtually any drug wihtout a doctor ordering it properly. Pity. more
