(DOCTOR-PHARMACIST RELATIONSHIP IN INDIA IN 2020) A REAL STORY OF PHARMACIST AND DOCTOR PHONE CONVERSATION IN INDIA.***REALITY NOT A FAKE ONE***

-

A PHONE CONVERSATION                                                                                                       

DOCTOR :HELLO
PAHRMACIST: HELLO SIR.
DOCTOR : I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND MY PATIENT TO GIVE HIM A PAN D CAPSULE AND RANIDOM O SYRUP .
PHARMACIST : YES SIR ,WE HAVE THE PAN D CAPSULE BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME BRAND AS OF RANIDOM O SYRUP,CAN YOU PLEASE SUGGEST THE COMPOSITION SO THAT WE CAN SUBSTITUTE THE BRAND .
DOCTOR : OK THEN I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COMPOSITION OF THE BRAND CORRECTLY, YOU CAN GIVE HIM SUCRAFIL SYRUP.
PHARMACIST : OK SIR THEN I WILL GIVE HIM THE PAN D CAPSULE AND SUCRAFIL SYRUP.HMMM....BUT AS I CHECKED THE COMPOSITION OF THE RANIDOM O AND SUCRALFATE ARE NOT MATCHING CAN I SUBSTITUTE AN EQUIVALENT COMPOSITION TO THAT OF RANIDOM O.
DOCTOR:MMM.... NO JUST GIVE WHAT I SAID,I WILL LOOK OVER IT.
PHARMACIST : OK SIR, THANK YOU.
  


NOTE :
DUE TO THE BRAND NAME THE DOCTOR FORGET THE COMPOSITION OF THE MEDICINE 
AND PRESCRIBED HIM AN ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE.RATHER TO GIVE HIM THE SAME DRUG FOR THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT.
COMPOSITION OF RANIDOM O IS MEGALDRATE,SIMETICONE AND OXETACAINE.
COMPOSITION OF SUCRAFIL IS SUCRALFATE.
THOUGH MEGALDRATE IS NON SYSTEMATIC GASTRIC ACID NEUTRALIZER,
SIMETICONE IS A AMPHIPHILIC LIQUID STOPS THE SECRETION OF THE GASTRIC ACID,
OXETACINE IS A LOCAL ANESTHESIA USED TO TREAT HEART BURNS AND PEPTIC ULCER,
AND IN CASE IF SUCRALFATE WHICH IS A BASIC ALUMINIUM SALT OF SULFATED SUCROSE WHICH FORM A ULCER PROTECTIVE LAYER AROUND THE ESOPHAGEAL,
IT IS USED EFFECTIVELY FOR THE DUODENAL ULCER  ,
THOUGH BOTH ARE ULCER PRODUCTIVE DRUGS BUT NOT THE SAME,INAPPROPRIATE OR IRRATIONAL TREATMENT WILL BE CONTINUED IF THE PATIENT IS OUT OF STATION .BECAUSE OF THE BRAND DEVIATION.
SO FROM THIS POINT WE GET TO KNOW THE DOCTORS DO NOT DIAGNOSE THE DISEASE OR DISORDER PROPERLY AND FOR THE NAME SAKE THEY ARE JUST DOING THE JOB BY PRESCRIBING  THE BRAND WHICH GIVE THEM MUCH BENEFIT WITHOUT KNOWING THE EXACT COMPOSITION OF THE BRAND THUS THE PHARMA COMPANIES JUST BLINDFOLDS THE DOCTORS BY GIVING THEM A OFFER TO EARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ,SO WE CONCLUDE THAT THE MEDICAL REPRESENTATIVES ARE  NOT MEANT TO MEET THE DOCTORS THEY JUST HAVE TO MEET THE PHARMACIST TO PROVE THE QUALITY OF THE MEDICINE BECAUSE THE PHARMACIST HAVE A KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MANUFACTURING KNOWLEDGE ,QUALITY CONTROL,QUALITY ASSURANCE,CAUSE THEY STUDY ABOUT MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY,PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING,PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS,ETC.. 

NOTE : SOME DOCTORS AROUND ME ARE GENUINE TYPE THAT THEY WRITE ONLY THE GENERIC MEDICINE NAME WITH LEGIBLE CAPITAL LETTER,THE RATIO OF SUCH DOCTORS IN INDIA IS 1:10000
