New mandate for Chemists: New QR Code and toll-free number; what it means for buyers

Drug licensing authorities nationwide are now mandated to display a Quick Response (QR) code and toll-free number at all pharmacies. This initiative, driven by the CDSCO, aims to simplify the reporting of adverse drug reactions by the public and healthcare professionals directly into the PvPI Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System, enhancing drug safety across India.
