East coast railway, visakhapatnam directs its patients to take medicines from apollo pharmacy which are not available in railway hospitals as per the contract agreement. I am taking medicines since last one year from apollo pharmacy, dondaparthi junction, visakhapatnam[protected] regularly viz., valaparin, liofen, lamitor, zonicep, etc. For my child. But always they give few medicine as balance. Few months back i requested to keep sufficient medicine with them since this medicine is required lifelong since i live far away from hospital. Today also they again given a memo to take balance medicine for which i cannot come from 100 kms. When i asked this, mr. Raju, salesman replied rudely and said that they are collecting only 50% of cost from railways and there is no profit in them. So, i have to come from 100 kms to collect the medicine or else advised me to purchase medicine from other shop. I will give a written complaint to railways to opt some other medical shop. But such type of behaviour with patients is unwarranted and humiliating.

If doctor prescribes you a prescription medicine then even if doctor has prescribed just 2 tablets, they will cut out 2 and give you.
By prescription medicine I mean those that are not available over the counter & for which the pharmacist is required to stamp the release of the tablets on the prescription.
Look for those smaller chemists in your area that can offer you only the intended number of tablets. I have done the same thing. e.g. I keep spare tablets 2 - 3 each of some common medicines but don't stock full stripe as it could get wasted in the process.
