Q2From which schedule of the Drugs Rules, 1945 has the Union health ministry removed cough syrups, ending their over-the-counter sale?
Explanation
The Union health ministry amended the Drugs Rules, 1945, removing cough syrups from Schedule K, which covers drugs that can be sold over the counter without a prescription.
Q3Consider the following statements regarding the recent amendment to the Drugs Rules, 1945 on cough syrups:\n1. After the amendment, cough syrups can still be sold without a license in villages with fewer than 1,000 residents.\n2. Schedule K covers drugs that can be sold only by hospitals after laboratory testing.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Statement 1 is false: the amendment removed the exemption, so cough syrups can now be sold in such villages only through licensed pharmacies complying with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. Statement 2 is false: Schedule K covers drugs that can be sold over the counter without a prescription, not drugs requiring laboratory testing sold only by hospitals. Hence neither statement is correct.
