Pharmacy business

People say pharmacy business is now a lucrative business. As a sincere citizen and an honest professional, I hereby take this opportunity to inform you that medicine-sellers should dispense medicines in the quantity as prescribed by the doctor or on the basis of the daily dose regimen. However, many pharmacies across Dhaka have adopted the practice of selling medicines as per the bulk pack whether or not required by the patient. Even if a patient requires four tablets, he has to buy eight because less than that will not be sold. These storekeepers should know that they are not selling groceries or chocolate; they are not selling preservative-added commodities. They are selling medicines that can save lives or can even cause death. This can not go on.
