Pratapwar to a news publication mentioned, “We’re checking the purchase bills for medications that general practitioners have in stock for their patients.” So far, no violations have been found, but the investigation is ongoing. The FDA is also doing random audits in cases where wholesalers have records of significant drug sales to individual general practitioners, making sure to avoid unauthorized distribution channels.

Anil Belkar, the secretary of the Pune District Chemists’ Association, expressed concern, saying, “We’ve received complaints about general practitioners acting like chemist shops. The illegal storage and sale of drugs in large amounts by doctors have been a major topic in our executive meetings. This is a serious issue that impacts the professional lives and future of many retailers. We’ve urged the FDA to take action, as this practice seems to be widespread across Maharashtra.”
