Hi,

Yes the situation in India about OTC availability of medicines is really

pathetic. Everything is available OTC. All classifications of various schedules

are on paper and for academics.

All stakeholders are responsible for this - the manaufacturers, regulators,

prescribers, sellers, consumers, NGOs et al. The sorry state of affairs is

indicative of the affairs of " The State " . The mere " will " to cleanse the system

is not there. The obvious reason for continuing dirty business is grease. Those

who are in league of corruption do not realise what damage they are doing to the

country and how tough it will be to return back to honest practice.
