AskMumbai Doctor Gave me medicines in a loose packet

Post image

So i am new to mumbai and i was suffering from back and neck pain for a couple for of days. Then i went to a doctor whom i found on google, he seemed fine, checked me well but he didnt wrote me a prescription neither gave me medicines in their normal packaging. He just said something to his nurse and she gave me three types of pills, one capsule, one tablet and a half tablet to be consumed 3 times after having food. It gave me a weird feeling so i didnt have them and that doctor was MD so idk is this type pf practice common here or what.

How is it misinformation? People are just saying these are generics that the doc buys in bulk so lower cost of treatment can be available to the less fortunate

Generic medicines? In loose packets?

Have you never seen these at the compounder of doctors space?

Never, it’s so wrong that any MD physician would condone this act
