Hyderabad: In the future, you might find it easy to buy common medicines for things like colds, pain, fever, allergies, coughs, or pain relief like aspirin or ibuprofen from your local Kirana store.
You won’t have to go all the way to a special pharmacy anymore to get these medicines without needing a prescription. The government is planning to make these kinds of medicines available at regular stores like Kirana stores. They want to make it easier and cheaper for everyone, especially for people who live far away from pharmacies or don’t have much money.
Right now, the government is figuring out which medicines can be sold without a prescription. They’re making a list of these medicines so that they can be sold at places like Kirana stores.
Some people who represent pharmacists are worried about this plan. They say that right now, the law says there has to be a pharmacist at places where medicines are sold. They’re concerned about what will happen if medicines are sold without a pharmacist being there.
There are many types of these medicines, like ones for allergies, colds, coughs, eye care, first-aid, stomach problems, women’s health, pain relief, skincare, and vitamins. The government wants to make sure everyone, especially poor people, can get these medicines easily without having to visit a doctor and pay a lot of money for a prescription.
But there are groups that represent pharmacies and pharmacists who are against this idea. They think it could be bad for their businesses.
