If OTC drugs available in several other countries are banned in India and no clear regulatory pathway is created for OTC drugs in India, both industry and consumers stand to lose. Most importantly, a regulatory environment that is not industry friendly could threaten domestic self-sufficiency in the longer term, and the Indian patients should be most insecure about this implication.  To ensure such casualties don\u2019t repeat in the future, it is also important that we urgently bridge regulatory gaps and points of ambiguity \u2013 especially with creation of a globally comparable OTC pathway.  The patient should continue to be at the heart of every regulatory decision \u2013 but with greater understanding of implications for today, tomorrow and the longer term.\u2019<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\r\n<div \r\n    class='wp-block-pdfp-pdf-poster  alignnone'\r\n    id='pdfp-2'\r\n    data-attributes='{&quot;uniqueId&quot;:&quot;pdfp1&quot;,&quot;file&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.sathguru.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/09\\\/BSI_Sept_2018_Issue_All_Pages_High.pdf&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;1122px&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;print&quot;:false,&quot;fullscreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;fullscreenButtonText&quot;:&quot;View Fullscreen&quot;,&quot;newWindow&quot;:false,&quot;showName&quot;:true,&quot;downloadButton&quot;:false,&quot;downloadButtonText&quot;:&quot;Download File&quot;,&quot;protect&quot;:false,&quot;onlyPDF&quot;:false,&quot;defaultBrowser&quot;:false,&quot;thumbMenu&quot;:false,&quot;initialPage&quot;:0,&quot;sidebarOpen&quot;:false,&quot;lastVersion&quot;:false,&quot;hrScroll&quot;:false,&quot;alert&quot;:true,&quot;popupOptions&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:false,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Open PDF&quot;,&quot;btnStyle&quot;:{&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#1e73be&quot;,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#fff&quot;,&quot;fontSize&quot;:&quot;rem&quot;,&quot;padding&quot;:{&quot;top&quot;:10,&quot;right&quot;:20,&quot;bottom&quot;:10,&quot;left&quot;:10}}},&quot;align&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;alignment&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;titleFontSize&quot;:&quot;16px&quot;,&quot;additional&quot;:{&quot;ID&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;Class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;CSS&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;adobeEmbedder&quot;:false,&quot;adobeOptions&quot;:{&quot;showDownloadPDF&quot;:true,&quot;showPrintPDF&quot;:true,&quot;showAnnotationTools&quot;:true,&quot;showFullScreen&quot;:false,&quot;embedMode&quot;:&quot;SIZED_CONTAINER&quot;},&quot;popupBtnStyle&quot;:{&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#2271b1&quot;,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#fff&quot;,&quot;padding&quot;:{&quot;top&quot;:10,&quot;right&quot;:20,&quot;bottom&quot;:10,&quot;left&quot;:10}},&quot;popupBtnText&quot;:&quot;Open Document&quot;,&quot;CSS&quot;:&quot;&quot;}'\r\n    style=\"text-align: left\"\r\n>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biospectrumindia.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Biospectrum\u2019s September 2018 edition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our experts conclude: \u2018From a consumer perspective, it is encouraging to see proactive regulatory action in the interest of patient safety and benefit.
