The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has issued an advisory circular addressed to healthcare professionals, pharmacies, retailers, distributors, and hospitals regarding the indiscriminate use of painkillers, specifically Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), and antibiotics. The circular highlights the severe medical risks associated with the unregulated and over-the-counter consumption of these medicines, explicitly linking their unchecked use to the development and acceleration of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

How kind of NBE to promise one more round of qualifying exam for foreign medical graduates
That will be a collection of over Rs 22 crore in exam fees @ Rs 6,195 per candidate
How nice! 😃
