Schedule H1 Drugs

Schedule H1 Drug List will get you anywhere but why read pharmamad.com(our) article, because we will let you know why exactly the schedule H1 drugs list came into existence.so let’s start with the basic questions that come to our mind when we think about H1 drugs.

Schedule H1 drugs introduced under the drugs and cosmetics ( 4th amendment) rules 2013, by MOHFW( ministry of health welfare and family welfare) on 30 august,2013 vide GSR( General Statutory Rules) 588(E) to regulate the sale of antibiotics.

Drugs specified in schedule H1 and come within narcotic drugs and psychotropic substance act 1985 labeled with the symbol NRx which shall be in red and conspicuously displayed on the left top comes of the label.

What are schedule H1 drugs?

schedule h1 drugs are the drugs that come under a rule. The rule says a pharmacist or druggist cannot sell such drugs without a prescription of a registered medical practitioner (DOCTOR).

why we cannot sell such drugs without a prescription?

to answer this question first we need to know what exactly happens with the patients.

in earlier days we used to sell antibiotics on the counter as casually nearly 2 to 3 tablets of antibiotics with pain killers, antipyretics, allergic drugs.

for the effect of antibiotics, they need a certain period of time with proper doses to take action on microorganisms to kill or inhibit them.

but due to the lack of consumption of antibiotics, microorganisms increase their resistance to a particular so that’s why even on the intake of antibiotics later it does not work at all.

above theory included in the category of Antibiotics of schedule H1 drugs

so basically schedule h1 drugs divided into 3 major parts

first is ANTIBIOTICS

second is TB DRUGS(TUBERCULOSIS)

and third is NRX DRUGS

TB DRUGS(tuberculosis)

TB DRUGS having a certain period of consumption or you can say a course.

that is three months, six months, nine months.

missing one dose is dangerous as well a double dose also can be lethal.

NRX DRUGS

NRx drugs include sleeping pills Trika, Anxit, containing alprazolam, and other brain-related drugs.

if these drugs will provide without prescription they can be used for murders, theft, rape, etc.

this is all about Schedule H1 Drug List

Things to watch out for before giving H1 medicine to the patients especially for registered pharmacist

1.Prescription date

2.Registered medical practitioner name and registration number

3.Registered medical practitioner stamp and signature

4. In the case of NRx drugs Registered medical practitioner degree with a recognized university or affiliated colleges must be completed a master’s degree (MD) because only MD can write NRx prescriptions with respect to patients’ history.

5.The pharmacist should have the patient’s full history record with his address and doctor’s address.
