कोरोना काल में दवा बिक्री को लेकर जारी अधिसूचना को रद्द करे सरकार

भागलपुर केमिस्ट एंड ड्रगिस्ट एसोसिएशन के महासचिव प्रशांत लाल ठाकुर ने कोरोना संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए जारी अधिसूचना जीएसआर 220 (ई) को रद्द करने की मांग की है। उनका कहना है कि डिजिटल प्लेटफार्म बिना वैध..

भागलपुर, वरीय संवाददाता कोरोना संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए दवा बिक्री को लेकर जारी अधिसूचना जीएसआर 220 (ई) को भागलपुर केमिस्ट एंड ड्रगिस्ट एसोसिएशन के महासचिव प्रशांत लाल ठाकुर ने रद्द किए जाने की मांग की है। उन्होंने कहा कि ये अधिसूचना कोरोना काल में स्थानीय दवा विक्रेताओं को इमरजेंसी के आधार पर स्थानीय दवा दुकानदारों को घर-घर दवा पहुंचाने की सुविधा देने के लिहाज से जारी की गई थी। लेकिन मौजूदा काल में कई डिजिटल प्लेटफार्म इस अधिसूचना का दुरुपयोग कर बिना किसी वैध प्रिस्क्रिप्शन के घर-घर दवाई पहुंचा रहे हैं। जो रोगाणुरोधी प्रतिरोध, नशीली दवाओं के दुरुपयोग और स्वचिकित्सा जैसी समस्याओं को जन्म दे सकती है। ऑनलाइन दवा बेच रहे प्लेटफार्म का ध्यान केवल उनके अपने मुनाफे पर है। यदि इस अधिसूचना पर रोक नहीं लगती है तो ये ऑनलाइन कारोबार जनता की सेहत के लिए खतरे का सबब बन सकता है। ऐसे में इस अधिसूचना को रद्द कर दवाओं की बिक्री और वितरण के लिए प्रिस्क्रिप्शन और अन्य नियामक प्रावधानों का कड़ाई से पालन कराया जाय.

Reality against Myths (PCI book)😢What PCI has to say?

Reality against Myths (PCI book)😢

What PCI has to say? 

Drugs Control officers can not take action for non compliance with  PPR or Pharmacy Act. 

Incidentally, the term " Pharmacy" contemplated under Rule 65(15)(c) refers to establishments complying with Schedule N of Drugs and Cosmetics Rules. For records, establishments possessing license for " Pharmacy" in compliance with Schedule N is in single digits, may be TWO or THREE in the entire State of Karnataka. Even these two or three need not comply with PPR. They have to comply with Schedule N.

Let me also clarify that the medical shops where D.Pharm holders are engaged and whose number in the State is more than 30000 and for whose upliftment you are fighting for are referred as " Chemists and Druggists " under Rule 65(15)(c).

 

I have been saying PPR has no legal sanctity. None has bothered to look into this and everyone harps on implementing PPR.  

Lastly, :

1. To implement SECTION 42 of Pharmacy Act separate authority is contemplated. State Councils are accountable if they have not appointed inspectors to implement Section 42 for decades.

2. Your observation Drugs regulatory together with State pharmacy Council can make the system water tight for violators is a wishful thinking."...

Attn:#PCI

This has happend is happening because:

1.PCI administrators do not know how to administer the office.

2. PCI do not follow Government Office Manual and PCI is being managed without due documentation and #Accountability, otherwise how the President's resignation letter was accepted without scrutiny and someone takes over without any fuss.

4.PCI is playing irresponsibly with the life of millions of youngsters leaving them Blindfold!

5. PCI is  luxurious jambooree to the members to make family trips.

Poor pharmacists 😢

Pharm D course introduction and D Pharma course closure is Propaganda !!!

I don't understand why D. Pharma course is being removed as minimum qualification for registration to practice Pharmacy in India. 

They say due to corruption. (Propaganda)

But I have seen corruption and malpractices happening at higher education level as well. 

1)PhD and PharmD students/interns publishing their names in scientific journals for research articles in which they have not done anything and just paid asked amount to the principal researcher so that their name get added in the research article as co-authors or co-researchers for publishing in scientific journals.

2)illogical sequence of subjects taught at colleges with these newly started courses.

3)Renting of license will continue even on Pharm-D ( doctor of pharmacy) degree.

4)To make minimum qualification for a registered pharmacist to do pharmacy practice in India, Pharm-D degree rather than D.Pharm ie. to replace the state's diploma of pharmacist.

Instead of updating and upgrading the syllabus of D.Pharm, what the policy makers have done is that they have created a new course named Pharm.D/Pharmd(PB) and obvious plan is to make it the minimum qualification for a registered pharmacist to do pharmacy practice in India.

Why create so much confusion, why malign the integrity of Pharmacy field. They could have retained the D.Pharm course and should have made neccessary changes in the syllabus and duration of D.Pharm, so that the minimum qualification for a registered pharmacist to do pharmacy practice in India remain D.Pharm and no need to replace the state's diploma of pharmacist. 

Just imagine if M.B.B.S course is replaced by some other course which is made minimum qualification for a registered physician to do medical practice in India.

And then they call themselves Pharma Expert or Drug Expert. What a pity situation ?

Inspections conducted by drug inspectors often reveal whether a medicine is spurious or misbranded through rigorous sampling and laboratory testing.

during routine checks at manufacturing units, pharmacies or distribution channels, inspectors collect samples of medicines, which are sent to government-approved laboratories for analysis.

“If a medicine fails to meet the prescribed quality standards set by regulatory authorities such as the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI), contains incorrect or harmful ingredients, or is falsely labelled, it is classified as spurious. Similarly, if the labelling is inaccurate, misleading or fails to adhere to regulatory guidelines, the medicine is marked as misbranded. Once identified, the drugs are labelled accordingly, and immediate action is taken to prevent their distribution and sale,” the official said.

These medicines pose significant risks to public health as they can lead to ineffective treatment, adverse reactions and harm antibiotic resistance, the official said, adding that regulatory authorities, on a regular basis, detect spurious or misbranded medicines through inspections, testing, consumer complaints, and monitoring of manufacturing processes.

PCI to integrate pharmacists' database with Healthcare Professional Registry

Gireesh Babu, New Delhi Saturday, November 23, 2024, 08:00 Hrs  [IST]

The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has sought all the pharmacists who don't have the ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) number to attain a number and ensure registration with the DIGI-PHARMed profile with the ABHA number on immediate basis, as part of its efforts to integrate the pharmacists' list with the Healthcare Professional Registry (HPR). The Council is in the process of verification of all registered pharmacists on the DIGI-PHARMed portal in order to integrate pharmacists with the HPR, and asked all the pharmacists to consider certain action points in order to equip the Council for a smooth integration. "All registered pharmacists are requested to verify their DIGI-PHARMed profile with the ABHA Number on immediate basis. The said verification must be completed within the timeline of 45 days from the date of issuance of this circular," said the Council in a communication to all registered pharmacists. "Failing to this, the pharmacist's profile will be disabled for any further usage on the DIGI-PHARMed portal," it added. In case of new registration, pharmacists must ensure to verify their account with the ABHA number at the time of registration and without verification of the profile with this number will be considered as incomplete registration. If the pharmacists don't have the ABHA number, it is directed to create the ABHA number using Aadhar before initiating the process or the registration of DIGI-Pharmed portal. The Council also requested to all the pharmacy institutions as well to check that all the faculty in their institutions are having the ABHA verified profiles and notified that during the Standard Inspection Format (SIF) applications and for further reference, only ABHA verified profiled of faculty will be considered by the Council from 2025-26 academic session, it added. It also directed all pharmacists that they must ensure that the documents uploaded to the portal while registering are authentic and validated. "If the Council discovers at any stage that any documents submitted during the registration process are incorrect, the respective profile of those pharmacists will be blacklisted," said the Council. In case of any inconvenience or technical issues, the pharmacists or the institutions can share the issues over email to the Council or reach out over telephone, it added. Healthcare Professionals Registry is a comprehensive repository of registered and verified different system of medicines (modern medicine, dentistry, Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, Homoeopathy) and nurses practitioners delivering healthcare services across India.  The ABHA number will be used for the purposes of uniquely identifying persons, authenticating them, and threading their health records (only with the informed consent of the patient) across multiple systems and stakeholders The repository is part of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), which empowers healthcare professionals to be part of India’s digital health ecosystem through a unique healthcare professional ID. With last mile coverage, people will be able to interact with healthcare practitioners or vice versa. Healthcare professional profile visible in the ABDM ecosystem is verified and authorised to practice medicine in the country. The HPR ensures that healthcare practitioners suitably trained and qualified to practice medicine with competence and ethical conformity are allowed to register with the HPR.
