E-drug: Polypharmacy in India (cont)
---------------------------------------------
Hi raj,
Really it's a pathetic thing how our poor fellow Indians are treated by
the doctors. I dont' have any answer for this, in my limited experience I
have seen so many polypharmacy prescriptions may be merged with two
different brand names of same drug at the maximum. And this is the first
time I have seen, treating a patient with insulin and with sulphonylureas?
Poor patient what he will do at this age, by the ignorance of a doctor.
Regards,
