New Delhi, Sep 7 (Ians) A Lancet study has raised major concerns over the rampant use of over-the-counter (Otc) antibiotics in India, saying that most of these drugs have not been approved by the central drug regulator that has resulted in severe antibiotic resistance in the country.
The research, published in Lancet Regional Health-Southeast Asia, said that the inappropriate use of antibiotics is a significant driver of antibiotic resistance in India.
The study was conducted by Shaffi Fazaludeen Koya, Veronika J. Wirtz, Sandro Galea and Peter C. Rockers from Department of Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health, along with Senthil Ganesh and Sakthivel Selvaraj from the Public Health Foundation of India, New Delhi.
“Largely unrestricted over-the-counter sales of most antibiotics, manufacturing and marketing of many fixed-dose combinations (Fdc) and overlap in regulatory powers between national and state-level agencies complicate antibiotics availability, sales, and consumption in the country,a” the researchers noted.
