The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has written to the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to stop the arbitrariness of medical stores regarding sale of drugs and asked for a guideline for the same. A senior official associated with the FDA said that people often complain that medical stores force them to buy a full strip of tablets when they need a few of them. However, the chemists' association claims it is for the benefit of patients.
