Indore is the medical capital of central India. Yet most residents still pay full branded prices for chronic medications they take for life. A typical diabetic family in Indore spends ₹2,500–3,500 per month on medicines they could get for ₹500–700 — same molecule, same effect.
Here's how to find a trusted generic medicine shop in Indore — and how to verify what's authentic.
What makes a generic medicine pharmacy trustworthy?
1. WHO-GMP sourced inventory
Every authentic generic should be from a manufacturer certified by the World Health Organization for Good Manufacturing Practices. Big names: Cipla, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's, Lupin, Torrent, Mankind, Macleods, Alkem.
Ask the pharmacist: "Which company makes this?" If they don't know, that's a red flag.
2. Registered pharmacist on premises
Indian law requires every pharmacy to have a registered D.Pharm or B.Pharm pharmacist. Look for the registration certificate on the wall.
3. Drug License displayed
Madhya Pradesh Drug License (20B for retail) must be visibly displayed. Ask to see it if not visible.
4. Proper cold storage
Insulin, certain antibiotics, eye drops need 2-8°C storage. A legitimate pharmacy will have a pharma-grade fridge with a temperature log.
5. Computerised billing with HSN codes
Real bills should show: medicine name, batch number, expiry, MRP, HSN code, GST. Hand-written generic chits without batch numbers are suspect.
