So, there is a doctor in Gurgaon who has been prescribing me a multivitamin for two years now. No matter how hard I try, I am unable to procure this capsule anywhere beyond the particular market complex that her clinic is in.

Today, I decided to dig deeper. Turns out, that although the medicine strip carries an address in Pune, the Private Limited company that manufactures it is registered at the address of her clinic. She is one of the two directors. The paid up capital of the company is a mere ₹1,00,000.

Are there no checks and balances in India for something like this?

Sameera SatijaLeave aside this particular issue for a moment and look around!! Do you think we are getting the basic infrastucture in return of the amount of taxes you pay? If your ans in NO then this protest is justified as it is to demand answerability
Ruchika SethiBrilliant. So glad you did this. Dr. Watson would be proud of you . Hide
Sarika VermaSo far nothing illegal unless it is proven that the drug is substandard. You could get it analysed and report to Drug council of India which is the authority on this. Tedious. Dubious. But there are lot many other doctors. Is my suggestion Hide

Millie KhannaSame happened with me when I fractured my ankle. Now why am I supposed to have only one specific brand of calcium. I looked up the salt of the medications and found alternates but the doctor went ballistic when I told him that. I dumped the doctor, went to Jamia Hamdard to get my plaster removed. Hide
