Mangaluru: As per the nationwide chemists’ strike call given by All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists (AIOCD) against online sale of medicine through e-pharmacies, maximum medicine stores remained closed today.
Of 625 medical shops in the D.K district, some of the medical shops belonging to MedPlus were opened on Friday.
Speaking to ‘Varthabharati’ regarding this, Medical Association President Sridhar Kamat said, “8-10 medicine shops belonging to MedPlus Company remained open in Mangaluru. As we learnt this, we appealed to them. They responded positively and supported the bandh by pulling down their shutters."
“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. We were committed to providing emergency life-care medicine. As per that, several people called us to provide emergency medicines, and we have responded to them positively, said Kamat.
