The articles in The Aware Consumer are a very relevant topic today. I live in the USA, but make several trips to India every year and the experience at the pharmacy in both countries is very different. The lack of experience and formal education of pharmacists in India is a serious concern. They are unable to guide me on which medicines to buy and in many cases end up giving poor quality substitutes for the required drug. In the USA, the pharmacists take the time to ask your symptoms, consult with their co-workers and recommend medication accordingly. I am waiting to see this in India.
