Dear Sirs,
Sub : Supply of medicines through Jan Aushadhi Stores.
We invite your kind attention regarding the sale of medicines through Jan Aushadhi Stores all over
India. The very purpose of having Jan Aushadhi Stores by our Government is to ensure quality
generic medicines at affordable prices to the public.
In this regard we have received information from our members that Jan Aushadhi stores are also
selling other branded pharma products. We also understand that Jan Aushadhi Stores should sell
only generic products manufactured by the CPSUs for Jan Aushadhi supply. We enclose herewith
the xerox copy of the bills of Jan Aushadhi Store for branded pharma product sales. Also the
medicines are supplied without prescription.
We request you to kindly take necessary steps to stop selling of branded pharma products in Jan
Aushadhi Stores as it will affect our member’ sales also.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
For TNCDA,

Respected Sir,
Sub: Submission of request to stop the on line sale of scheduled(H,H1
and X) drugs in India.
Ref: Draft Notification dated 28/08/2018 published in the Gazette ofIndia
for allowing e-pharmacy for retail sale in India by GOI.
1. INTRODUCTION :
The Tamil Nadu Chemists and Druggist Association (TNCDA) , Chennai having
40000 membership is affiliated to National Trade association “ALL INDIA
ORGANISATION FOR CHEMISTS AND DRUGGISTS (AIOCD)” having
membership of about eight lakh (8,00,000) pharmaceutical traders all over India.
We have already submitted our objections to permitting e- Pharmacy in India providing
elaborate details of dangers and Adverse effect in sale of drugs in online compare
to very few advantages expected from e-Pharmacies likely to be benefited that too
by few corporates and micro fraction of Indian population. There is no doubt that
Online sale is an advent of new technology but with respect to sale of drug is
concerned, most of the countries like China, Japan, Germany, France,Russia and
TAMILNADU CHEMISTS 25 JUNE 2019
other Asian countries have permitted e-pharmacies only for selling of Over the
counter (OTC) drugs(‘non-prescription’ medicines) and not for prescribed medicines.
However USA, CANADA, BRAZIL have permitted for online sale of drugs
because they have pool proof system to monitor and regulate the online sale and very
less number of community pharmacies and located faraway from public reach. The
Government of Indiais well aware that these countries are already facing extreme
difficulties to stop the sale of counterfeit drugs and not of standard quality (NSQ)
drugs by rogue online web sites as many rogue pharmacies are operating in their
countries.
Hence Permitting e- Pharmacies for selling of life saving Schedule H, H1 and X
drugs in India is great harmful attempt and substantially increase counterfeit and
substandard drugs in the market and public will suffer by getting substandard and
fake medicines. At present, clandestine sale of medicines over internet are operating
in India and selling the drugs. The regulating authorities are unable to identify and
eliminate those illegal online operators even after Delhi high court order to stop the
sale of line sale drugs in India and facing extreme difficult to ensure efficacy,
safety and quality of drugs to consumer through these unauthorised/unlicensed
online operators.
2.0. The following are some of the harms, sufferings, risk of life threatening
resulting from online purchase of unsafe, counterfeit and not of standard quality
drugs. The reasons for strongly opposing online sale through e-pharmacies in
India for prescribed medicines and even for permitting online sale of OTC drugs,
the government of India, before permitting the e-pharmacies for OTC drugs, the
following important information/requirements/regulation/ systems are to be ensured
to monitor the online sale of OTC drugs (there is scope to include some more
medicines to OTC brand from scheduled drugs which can be bought without
prescription by consumer and no harm to human consumption/application).
a) We have at present about 8 lakh community pharmacies licensed and operated
in India which is almost equal to total pharmacies existing in most of the top 20
countries in the World (USA-67000. China-2,00,000 Japan.26000, etc.,). Our
d) The Health professionals are not favouring this unnecessary and hazardous new
proposal of on-line sale of prescribed drugs in India. As the minors and youngsters
can buy controlled suspense without adult supervision and become addict.
e) Even in the most advanced countries like USA, nearly 30% of the internet
buyers have informed that they lacked confidence as per new survey among the
online buyers of medicines.
4.0. SUMMARY
4.1. Online sale will lead to harmful and health hazard to large section of our
countryman and hence in the interest of public, GOI shall not permit online/
e-pharmacies for selling of prescription drugs,( Schedule H, H1, X drugs)
and we completely oppose the online pharmacies owing to risk involved and
injurious to health hazard of common man.
4.2. The provision in the Act is only for licencing with conditions for sale of
drugs at the licenced premises by the qualified person(pharmacist) and No
provision in the present Act for registration of online web sites and e-
pharmacies.
4.3. Due to increased competition, rising maintenance costs, increased expenditure
on human resources and the strict price control, the sustainability of the retail
