U must watch the boys in Pharmacies, who are aged hardly 16-18, prescribing antibiotics. We have 2 types of important customers, one who do not earn enough to pay physician fee and the 2nd type customers wish to save time going to pharmacy directly. The symptoms are told and in a moment there comes the medicine out. Do you think this act of young boys is commendable!!??
yes it is commendable. regarding the division of clientale it is not related to income all the times. many times thee is faith in the pharmacy guys since he gives medicines and knows what for what. This is the notion that most customers have.
antibiotics are regarded as money spinners by the boys. after the advent of generic drugs the price of antibiotics and the margin of profit has doubled.
Levofloxacin of Ranbaxy is available at nearly rs 5 where as it is sold for a sum of 30.
more than ethics it is profit margin tat is considered.
The saddest part is the removal of dispensing of dugs by doctors. I think the discretionary aspect of disbursement of drugs must be made accountable and generic drugs sales be banned.
Pharmacist licence is not the only criteria but also each medical shop must have qualified and responsible person to monitor dug sales. after all this is anot a mall.
I need to use the word condemnable rather than commendable.
Self medication has been in vogue since ages. Taking a view of the patient, it will be understood that the person has an intention to cure himself by the little knowledge he has acquired either by friends or through family or by himself or a previous experience.
Antibiotics has been used extensively by many doctors. resistant bugs may be the concern for most of the doctors and also a threat to severe infections.
