Dr. B. Suresh's message for pharmacists

-
We would like to thank Dr. Milind Umekar, President, APTI Maharashtra State and Principal, Smt. Kishoritai Bhoyar College of pharmacy, Nagpur for sending us this update.

Dear fellow pharmacists, 
There is a lot of wrong messages circulating on social media and emails that the pharmacists are empowered under Pharmacy practice Regulations 2015 to open clinics and practice medicine. This is false and there is no such provision.  Pharmacy practice regulations provide for practicing the pharmacy profession by providing pharmaceutical care to patients  which includes providing advise on medication, drug information, reporting adverse drug effects to the physician, and supporting the physician in medication management. This is provided in the interests of the patient with the idea of supporting the physician in health care delivery . Under no circumstances the pharmacist is empowered to practice medicine or open clinics to provide medical care. Please circulate this widely as it should not be misunderstood by our fellow health professionals. 

Dr. B Suresh,
President,
Pharmacy Council of India.
