Medicine stores to remain shut in D.K, Udupi districts on Sep. 28
Mangaluru: As The All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists (AIOCD) have called for a nationwide chemists’ strike against online sale of medicine through e-pharmacies, all medicine stores in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts would remain shut on September 28.
Hence, the service will not be available at 625 medical shops in the D.K. district on Friday.
“People cannot get information about the quality and method of using the drug if they buy it online. It is also possible to have side effects on the health of the patient. With the intention to convince the government, the bandh has been called. However, in case of emergency, life-saving drugs will be provided if called on 9844043345,” informed the district president Sridhar Kamat.
“However, medical shops at hospitals and Nursing Home's will remain open on Friday. AIOCD has called the strike to protest against online drug sale, insufficient drugs, opposition to absurd competition, and to demand life security for retailers,” he added.
