Homeopathy access likely to expand using allopathic retail networks

Summary

A proposal from the Ayush ministry was discussed last month by the Drugs Technical Advisory Board of the Drug Controller General of India to promote homeopathy medicines across the country. The plan is to amend rules to allow wholesale drug distributors to stock and distribute homeopathy drugs.

"We have considered homeopathy as a completely different segment from ours until now. However, if the government allows us to sell these medicines, we have no problem with it. We will discuss it internally and our members will stock them if such a segment is introduced. Our role would be strictly B2B (business-to-business); we would only supply to retailers and would have no role with the consumers directly,” said Rajiv Singhal, general secretary, All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD). The association has 1.24 million members across the country comprising drug stockists, wholesalers and retailers.
