A team from TGMC, led by Dr. Srinivas (Vice Chairman), Dr. Imran Ali, and Dr. Rajiv, inspected 20 clinics. During the checks, cases were registered against 10 fake doctors.
One Ayurvedic doctor was caught conducting tests on a pregnant woman and prescribing allopathic medicines, which included antibiotics and steroids.
Two other Ayurvedic doctors, Dr. Ramesh and Dr. Veeresh, were also found giving similar medicines against the rules.
Strict Measures Ahead
TGMC has decided to file complaints with the District Health and Medical Officer.
Offenders could face ₹5 lakh fines and up to one year in jail for breaking medical rules.
Dr. Imran Ali revealed that 350 FIRs have already been filed across Telangana against private medical practitioners (PMPs) involved in similar illegal activities.
Why This Matters to Pharmacists
Double-Check Prescriptions: Pregnant women are at risk. Pharmacists must carefully review prescriptions to ensure they’re appropriate and safe.
Be the Gatekeeper: Keep an eye out for suspicious or unsafe prescriptions and guide customers towards safe options.
Spread Awareness: Educate your customers about the importance of consulting qualified doctors instead of relying on shortcuts or unlicensed practitioners.
A Big Reminder for All
This incident is a wake-up call about the misuse of antibiotics and steroids, especially for pregnant women. Pharmacists play a key role in protecting their customers by ensuring medicines are used responsibly and only when prescribed by qualified professionals.
