PRICE RISE OF LIFE SAVING DRUGS
MY EXPERIENCE IS , AMLOKIND-L A TABLET USED B.P COSTS Rs 43 at present. DOUBLE WITHIN 3 YEARS.ITS PRICES WERE LOWERED, BUT SUDDENLY INCREASED.
NO CONTROL AND NO RATIO OF PRICE HIKE.
AT LEAST PRICES OF LIFE SAVING DRUGS SHOULD BE REDUCED.
DRUG MAFIA IS BEHIND THIS, PEOPLE SAY, BUT WHAT OUR GOVT IS DOING. more

A wide range of general medicines are produced by un-organized sector having no infrastructure. Even their addresses, drug licences, VAT numbers are fake. They supply medicines/medical accessories at highly inflated prices in connivance with Doctors, Nurses and Chemists. Due to corruption and non accountability, no Health Official checks the quality of products and verify their other particulars. The Govt. cannot control the prices of their products. The prices of branded medicines should be regulated by NAPPA and reviewed regularly. more
