You must show a doctor's prescription to buy syrups now.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued a new notification. This rule applies to pharmacies across India.

You cannot buy cough syrups or other liquid medicines over the counter anymore. Pharmacists must check your prescription before they sell these medicines to you.

This change aims to improve safety for consumers.

Key points:

Always consult a doctor before taking new medicine.
