&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Now, you will need a doctor&#039;s prescription for buying common antibiotics, certain pain-relievers, anxiety-busters and sleeping pills.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Retail chemists have started asking for prescriptions while dispensing 46 medicines across therapies-these cover over 7,000 formulations in the domestic market. The sale restrictions apply to popular antibiotics, best-selling cough syrups like Corex and certain anti-tuberculosis medicines, all of which used to be easily available over the counter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new rules kicked in this month, following a government notification to restrict abuse of antibiotics and anxiety depressants.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
That&#039;s not all. These medicines will undergo a change in packaging, and be sold with a boxed warning.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Firms are in the process of changing the packaging so as to display the drug formulation with the symbol &#039;Rx&#039; in red conspicuously displayed in the left top corner of the label.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This change will be effected for those medicines which contain the substance specified in Schedule H1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945, and as part of the fourth amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 2013.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Although the government notification was issued last year after a decision taken by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the changes including the sale and labelling of medicines were to be implemented from March 1. Also, chemists will now be required to maintain records of the names of the doctor, the patient for whom the medicine has been prescribed and the quantity of all such drugs sold by them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the notification, such records will have to be maintained for three years and will be open for inspection by the state regulatory authority, and the Drug and Controller General of India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government move intends to plug the rampant use of antibiotics, prescription drug abuse and misuse of certain codeine-induced (narcotic-containing) cough syrups. Also, in certain cases, sedatives, anti-depressants and anxiety busters are abused by people for relief from stress.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Now, you will need a doctor&#039;s prescription for buying common antibiotics, certain pain-relievers, anxiety-busters and sleeping pills.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Retail chemists have started asking for prescriptions while dispensing 46 medicines across therapies-these cover over 7,000 formulations in the domestic market. The sale restrictions apply to popular antibiotics, best-selling cough syrups like Corex and certain anti-tuberculosis medicines, all of which used to be easily available over the counter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new rules kicked in this month, following a government notification to restrict abuse of antibiotics and anxiety depressants.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
That&#039;s not all. These medicines will undergo a change in packaging, and be sold with a boxed warning.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Firms are in the process of changing the packaging so as to display the drug formulation with the symbol &#039;Rx&#039; in red conspicuously displayed in the left top corner of the label.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This change will be effected for those medicines which contain the substance specified in Schedule H1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945, and as part of the fourth amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 2013.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Although the government notification was issued last year after a decision taken by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the changes including the sale and labelling of medicines were to be implemented from March 1. Also, chemists will now be required to maintain records of the names of the doctor, the patient for whom the medicine has been prescribed and the quantity of all such drugs sold by them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the notification, such records will have to be maintained for three years and will be open for inspection by the state regulatory authority, and the Drug and Controller General of India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government move intends to plug the rampant use of antibiotics, prescription drug abuse and misuse of certain codeine-induced (narcotic-containing) cough syrups. Also, in certain cases, sedatives, anti-depressants and anxiety busters are abused by people for relief from stress.

&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;Now, you will need a doctor&#039;s prescription for buying common antibiotics, certain pain-relievers, anxiety-busters and sleeping pills.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Retail chemists have started asking for prescriptions while dispensing 46 medicines across therapies-these cover over 7,000 formulations in the domestic market. The sale restrictions apply to popular antibiotics, best-selling cough syrups like Corex and certain anti-tuberculosis medicines, all of which used to be easily available over the counter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The new rules kicked in this month, following a government notification to restrict abuse of antibiotics and anxiety depressants.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
That&#039;s not all. These medicines will undergo a change in packaging, and be sold with a boxed warning.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Firms are in the process of changing the packaging so as to display the drug formulation with the symbol &#039;Rx&#039; in red conspicuously displayed in the left top corner of the label.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This change will be effected for those medicines which contain the substance specified in Schedule H1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945, and as part of the fourth amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 2013.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Although the government notification was issued last year after a decision taken by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the changes including the sale and labelling of medicines were to be implemented from March 1. Also, chemists will now be required to maintain records of the names of the doctor, the patient for whom the medicine has been prescribed and the quantity of all such drugs sold by them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the notification, such records will have to be maintained for three years and will be open for inspection by the state regulatory authority, and the Drug and Controller General of India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government move intends to plug the rampant use of antibiotics, prescription drug abuse and misuse of certain codeine-induced (narcotic-containing) cough syrups. Also, in certain cases, sedatives, anti-depressants and anxiety busters are abused by people for relief from stress.

That&#039;s not all. These medicines will undergo a change in packaging, and be sold with a boxed warning.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Firms are in the process of changing the packaging so as to display the drug formulation with the symbol &#039;Rx&#039; in red conspicuously displayed in the left top corner of the label.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This change will be effected for those medicines which contain the substance specified in Schedule H1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945, and as part of the fourth amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 2013.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Although the government notification was issued last year after a decision taken by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the changes including the sale and labelling of medicines were to be implemented from March 1. Also, chemists will now be required to maintain records of the names of the doctor, the patient for whom the medicine has been prescribed and the quantity of all such drugs sold by them.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per the notification, such records will have to be maintained for three years and will be open for inspection by the state regulatory authority, and the Drug and Controller General of India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government move intends to plug the rampant use of antibiotics, prescription drug abuse and misuse of certain codeine-induced (narcotic-containing) cough syrups. Also, in certain cases, sedatives, anti-depressants and anxiety busters are abused by people for relief from stress.

Antibiotics, syrups need prescription -Rupali Mukherjee

-The Times of India MUMBAI: Now, you will need a doctor's prescription for buying common antibiotics, certain pain-relievers, anxiety-busters and sleeping pills. Retail chemists have started asking for prescriptions while dispensing 46 medicines across therapies-these cover over 7,000 formulations in the domestic market. The sale restrictions apply to popular antibiotics, best-selling cough syrups like Corex and certain anti-tuberculosis medicines, all of which used to be easily available over the counter. The new rules kicked in this month, following a government notification to restrict abuse of antibiotics and anxiety depressants. That's not all. These medicines will undergo a change in packaging, and be sold with a boxed warning. Firms are in the process of changing the packaging so as to display the drug formulation with the symbol 'Rx' in red conspicuously displayed in the left top corner of the label. This change will be effected for those medicines which contain the substance specified in Schedule H1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945, and as part of the fourth amendment in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 2013. Although the government notification was issued last year after a decision taken by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the changes including the sale and labelling of medicines were to be implemented from March 1. Also, chemists will now be required to maintain records of the names of the doctor, the patient for whom the medicine has been prescribed and the quantity of all such drugs sold by them. As per the notification, such records will have to be maintained for three years and will be open for inspection by the state regulatory authority, and the Drug and Controller General of India. The government move intends to plug the rampant use of antibiotics, prescription drug abuse and misuse of certain codeine-induced (narcotic-containing) cough syrups. Also, in certain cases, sedatives, anti-depressants and anxiety busters are abused by people for relief from stress.
