Ayurvedic pharmacy

AYURVEDIC PHARMACY
dear respected vaidyasi just want to know the formalities for running a ayurvedic pharmacy .is there any need for us to get drug license from drug inspectors? and is there any other formalities?hope i could get some insight,i am planning to open an outlet adjacent to my clinic.thanks in advance.
1) If planning to open an outlet of sales division for OTC and planning to give the bills, as Dr.Surendra bhaiyya stated, the TAN & TIN IS REQUIRED
2)Dear DOCTOR,If by pharmacy u mean a manufacturing unit then yes u have to register it as a company and accquire proper drug licence from state unit. U can download the complete procedure from website of AYUSH. If not found their just give me ur email i'll send u by attachement.If u wish to run a retail store then every state has it's own rule so please check with the autorities of ur state

3)Dear Sunil,Running an Ayurvedic pharmacy retail store does not requires any licence from department of Ayurveda nor from any drug inspectors .You just have to complete some formalities from sales tax department to acquire TAN and TIN numbers. And that is it....All the best for your new planning

Mahanimba

Namaste! Shall I present a small case before you all eminent Physicians and my dear friends which inclined me more towards our precious texts and Veda.

Certainly I should!

On 12-11-2010 a male pt.of 50 years-moderately obese complaining of pain over his Rt.gluteus regn. radiating to his right thigh attended the OPD on a fine morning. The history was since 20 years and before 12 years he had some Desi dawaai (stated as Ayurvedic) for 4 months and had remarkable relief then. But the pain recurred few years later and has become severe for the past few weeks.

The pain was such that it troubled the pt.on sitting from the lying downposition and even a while -sitting was problematic. Walking few meters discomforted him a lot.

Pers. His.: Short stature

Vegetarian , Non-smoker, Non- alcoholic

Manager in a big concern

Rides bike 40 km/day on avg.

Bowels-Normal

Wt. – 72 kgs

No other significant complaint.

He attended the dispensary thru one of his staff who is my patient too.

The prescription was so simple containing Yogaraja guggulu, Vatari guggulu and Mahamasha tail.

One text haunted my mind regarding Mahanimba which is widely available and adviced the patient to take the kalka in empty stomach .

During the follow-up on 3-12-2010 he said “ 80% improvement and halkaa sa dard letne se utne par”(sic).I accept- it was just an experiment done with a strong confident that the kalka can never hurt the pt in anyway. It was a surprise for me for I was under the impression that Our medicines work efficiently only on GIT and very less over the other systems of the body. (Frankly I was more excited than the pt which I had to hide with difficulty till I met my Better-half to whom I discuss such attributes of Ayurveda). I was unable to credit this success to the prescription of the compound medicines dispensed because the same was and is being administered to many cases of similar complaint with insignificant progress.

The reference is not being quoted here as the Eminent Physicians know it and my dear and respectful friends can explore new gems from the ocean on going search into the deep ocean .

I humbly request all our fraternity to guide me about what to be queried and what to be done during the next follow-up of the pt (The pt continues the prescription and the kalka presently).

MY HEARTY SALUTES TO THOSE GREAT SAGES AND OUR PIVOTS OF THE PANEL...........
