Been happening for years here in the United States that's why we have an opioid pandemic

[eddies]

It's the same way here in the states. Politicians, cops, doctors, they're all on the take. Where apathy plays corruption wins.

Used to be that you had to get your drugs through the black market. Now you just have to find the right doctor 🙄

[jawaharlalbansal]

Dolo 650 or Paracetamol is OTC medicine available without prescription.During covid pandemic, every household purchased PCM in plenty for emergency use.

[GeekyGamerProBegins]

Dolo is the cheapest medicine available in the market. Why would a doctor take bribe to prescribe? We follow a rule of writing the name of drug in prescription. I'd say you're full of crap

[devilhex]

According to the rules, Pharma companies can't give money to doctors. So it isn't done. Instead they give a lot of freebies and gifts to doctors. Pretty much every Pharma company does it 😓

[michaelf]

Why are only the doctors punished what about the big pharme companies

[jaihind]

My doctor didn’t prescribe this particular medication

[shenoyalavoor]

Which Pharma company is not giving freebies?
Then why just target only dolo

[debajitkumardas]

Bribery is common in pharmaceutical industry worldwide. They bribe in a very different way. Expensive gifts, plane tickets and many more ways

[sunithapathi]

We indians consume dolo like it's some candy 😂😂

[dr.sandeepsingh]

Doctor bashing is favorite pass time of indians 😁

[santanusen]

& The Judge himself was a victim when He had Covid & he mentioned that, I think it was the Judge Chandrachur

[nikehusk]

My doctor was bribed and threatened not to prescribe IVM for covid.

[nhebbar]

All doctors prescribe according to the amount/benefits accorded to them by pharmaceutical companies. This happens in every industry that needs prescriptions... aquaculture, agriculture, animal husbandry. Trips, gold, money and gifts are the usually gifted in abundance. Open secret.

[kumardrckr]

Dili is an OTC drug and no doctor prescription is needed even in US.

[AJP]

Where we don't have corruption. Not ignoring. It's our DNA. It's a our culture. It's our pride. It's our pride. We are a filthy failing country because none of us know what is governance and administration...

[nicholasgade]

I have zero doubts, now on a worldwide level!

[katyarkhukri]

Know plenty of people who consume dolo regularly and it appears to be well known and an OTC .

[elik]

It's global problem which is a big business.
