hi there are lot medplus pharmacy shop chain in bangalore across South iNdia.They are givin 10% off on all drugs/medcines.Also they give a customer id for evey customer that is valid across all their stores and there are some loyalty pts credited which can be redeemed for some gifts.10% on prescription drugs I found it a real good offer for retail customer like us.
your phone number is your id..you get some good discounts...and people who are on regular medication it helps..
Cost of health care is rising at phenomenal rate .We want to minimize medical expenses by opting for such discounts little realizing drug firms and pharmacies and doctors are in collusion looting . Instead of prescribing proprietary drugs, why cannot doctors prescribe the same medicine under its generic name as in USA which is mandatory. Why cannot pharmacies stock generic drugs too? Same medicine when sold under proprietary name may cost ten rupees, which will only cost two rupees if sold under generic name. There is a mistaken feeling that cheap means " will not work". Unfortunately pharmacies won't stock generic drugs. To know the generic name of a proprietary drug you can google it or keep a copy of CIMS available in leading book shops, Lakshmi
