The health ministry invoked section 26B of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 to facilitate the doorstep delivery of drugs to consumers. “Central government is satisfied that retail sale of drugs to the doorstep of consumers is essential to meet the requirements of emergency arising due to pandemic COVID-19 and in the public interest, it is necessary and expedient to regulate the sale and distribution of drugs for their delivery to the consumers,” it said in the notification.
It added that any person holding a licence under Form 20 or Form 21 under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules of 1945 to sell, stock or distribute drugs by retail can participate. The licensee needs to submit an e-mail id for registration with the licensing authority if prescriptions are to be received through email.
