Panel to finalise list of over-the-counter drugs for sale at general stores

By Economic Times - 7 months ago
A three-member committee of gynecologists has been formed to finalize a list of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that will be available in regular stores without the need for a prescription. The committee, chaired by Directorate General of Health Services Atul Goel, aims to complete the list within two weeks. This move is part of India's new OTC policy for drugs, which seeks to reduce treatment costs and promote self-care while ensuring safety. The list will be based on factors such as safety, availability, and non-habit-forming nature of the drugs.
