Since the ban has been inflicted temporarily, our affected members need not worry. Once appropriate rules are made to discipline the online medicine traders, the ban is expected to be lifted. The government should initiate immediate necessary steps in this regard. more

The Pros & cons of online pharmacies is quite a Debatable one , as is evident from the comments here. No doubt there has to be regulations regarding the Sale of Schedule H,H1 and X Drugs , and also a qualified/ Certified person billing . The Honourable Judge herself has directed the Center to notify the rules as early as Possible , not later than January 31st . So the ball is in the court of the Center to make up the decision. more

The pharmaceuticals price drugs at exorbitantly high and certain e-pharmacies and e-agencies which get the drugs give a share of their discount to consumers who order online and hence the customers are benefited. If the GOI passes the bill banning the epharmacies to sell the drugs online, then the Govt must put cap on the prices of various drugs that the pharmaceuticals manufacture. These producers cheat the consumers by increasing the prices periodically without any rime or reason even once in a month. Hence price control for all drugs must be imposed simultaneously. more
