flag AI-generated fake prescriptions enable illegal online drug sales in India, prompting calls to ban them and shut down unregulated e-pharmacies.

flag The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists warns that AI-generated fake prescriptions are fueling the illegal online sale of antibiotics, opioids, and psychotropic drugs in India, bypassing key safeguards under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. flag The group blames government notifications GSR 817(E) and GSR 220(E) for enabling unregulated e-pharmacies to accept fraudulent digital prescriptions with fabricated hospital details, lacking the human verification found in physical pharmacies. flag AIOCD urges the government to revoke the notifications, shut down illegal platforms, and ban all AI-generated prescriptions nationwide to combat rising antimicrobial resistance and drug misuse. flag The issue gained urgency after Prime Minister Modi highlighted uncontrolled antibiotic sales in his recent 'Mann Ki Baat' address.
