Unlicensed village pharmacists to face over-the-counter sale curbs
Following the death of 22 children due to consumption of contaminated cough syrups in Madhya Pradesh three months ago, the Union Health Ministry has proposed amendments in the country’s drug rules to ensure a tougher criterion for their over-the-counter (OTC) sales in India.
According to a draft notification, the ministry has proposed to drop the word ‘syrup’ from the Schedule K of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, which exempts a segment of drugs from stringent manufacturing, distribution and sales related regulatory provisions of the Drugs Rules, 1940.
