E-DRUG:  RFI: Nimesulide ADRs? (4)
----------------------------------

dear E-druggers,

Nimesulide is already a prescription drug called
Schedule H in India; hence legally it can be bought
only against a doctor's prescription. However retail
chemists in India routinely sell prescription drugs
without prescriptions. The Drugs Controller General,
India (DCGI)has not directed that Nimesulide be used
"under the supervision of a doctor." It would be
superfluous to issue such direction.
