Re: proliferation of non essential medicines @Dr. Keshetti Srisailam

Dear Dr. Keshetti

Srisailam

Thank you for providing

important reasons of proliferation of so many non essential medicines in India.

It is not easy to produce a block buster

medicine always so that a medicine company can monopolize global market and

earn exclusive profit for years together from it. In fact the golden decades of

1940 to 1980 no longer persists when scores of new medicines of different

therapeutic groups were introduced. Today this flow has nearly dried up. The

medicine companies have therefore become busy in producing medicines which are

not required. Also the health sector in India is largely unregulated.

Health care services especially the private for profit sector suffers from the

absence of ethical considerations. Pharmaceutical industry in India also plays a major role in

this as it induces doctors and hospitals to prescribe irrational and

unnecessary drugs.

Dr. Mangesh
