Recently travelled from T3 Lucknow and visited Apollo pharmacy. A guideline mentioned that due to safety reasons, there is no scissor and hence no way to get loose medicines i.e. you need to purchase the entire strip. Now it got me thinking why OTC medicines do not have perforated lines for blister packing or others as well so that tablets can be sold in place of entire strips. Pharma companies can increase cost to some extent but atleast the medicines will not be wasted.
