[HealthyIndia] Indian Govt OTC ruling

[Guest guest]

India perhaps has the most liberal practice of dispensation of drugs across the counter!! Name any drug, one can get it even without prescriptions!! It is like prohibition when liquor is sold in every street corner, provided one knows the source!!

The news of July 29, 2006, that the Indian governmentis bringing a rule such that cough syrups and otherschedule K drugs will be sold over the counter (OTC)in grocery stores is welcome news. In USA such a

practice is decades old. But I propose why only theschedule K drugs? We the intelligent, educated, wellread senior citizens deserve better. We should havethe right to self medicate to keep us healthy.
