  Today we will discuss about a query. Query is that I am chemical engineer having 10-year experience in pharmaceutical sector. My doubt is that my shop is at first floor. Is it  eligible for pharmacy (retail drug license)  or not? and if I want to  take retail drug license  then  pharmacist  is compulsory or not. If I don't have  pharmacy degree  then what is alternative for that If we talk about retail drug license then drug authority shouldn't have any objection for first floor. They will grant you  license for retail store/pharmacy store  at first floor but point is that whether there is gathering or public for purchasing at first floor or not. Because generally most of chemist shops are present at ground floor in market or nearby of hospital which is essential for them to run successfully.

  Hello Guys I am Ajay Kamboj and today we will talk about Whether a pharmacist can open a Pharma Clinic or not. We will talk about this Generally, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about Pharma Clinic and many messages were also circulated when the Pharmacy Practice Regulation Act came. Even today there is doubt in the mind of many pharmacists whether they can open or not open pharma clinics and can diagnose and treat a patient or not, so we will talk about it If I define in just one word that you can open pharma clinic or not, then you cannot open pharma clinic, you cannot treat or diagnose any patient, there is no such regulation, there is no such act. The reason for this huge misunderstanding is that when the Pharma Practice Regulation 2015 was implemented, there was a lot of rumor that the word practice was related to it that pharmacists can now practice. These massages were started to circulated at what's app, facebook and mail that under this act, now the pha...

Query: I wanted to ask you pharma companies collaborates with celebs to market their otc products , could you throw light on how much % pharma company actually gets benefit from celeb marketing, and what according to you is more influential, brand name or well-known celeb. I will be waiting for your response. Response: I think pharma companies get a lot... Not at that brand which they are advertising but also in overall company reputation in the eyes of the medical community i.e. doctors, chemists, hospitals etc. That is about advertisement but when it comes to celebrity collaboration, mainly they collaborate with celebrities because celebrities have their own branding so they try to mix celebrity branding with their otc brand. But in my opinion, advertisements matter more than whether they have a celebrity in the advertisement or not... In the pharmaceutical market, there are a lot of restrictions and companies have to follow advertisements and promotional guidelines related to mainl...
