The Centre has directed e-commerce platforms to sell Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani drugs only after a valid prescription from a registered Ayurveda, Siddha, or Unani practitioner.
According to an official statement, e-commerce platforms have been advised that the sale or facilitating the sale of such drugs will be done only after a valid prescription from a registered Ayurvedic, Siddha, or Unani practitioner is uploaded by the user on the platform.
Consuming such drugs without medical supervision can lead to severe health complications, it added.
As per Rule 161(2) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, the container of a medicine for internal use for the treatment of human ailments shall, if it is made up of a substance specified in Schedule E (1), be labeled conspicuously with the words “Caution: To be taken under medical supervision” both in English and Hindi language.
The Ministry of Ayush issued a public notice in February 2016 informing stakeholders that the aforementioned drugs are required to be taken under medical supervision and that purchasing the same online should be avoided without medical consultation, according to officials.
