You have raised a very important point. I think, Dr. S.K. Vashishth has given a very correct picture. The malpractices in U.S. in relation to the Pharmaceutical Industry, are far more than in India. May be, bigger economy, more malpractices. So far as the Clinical Research goes, if you go through Dr. Vithoulkas Book, titiled “A NEW MODEL FOR HEALTH & DISEASE”, you would find the big hoax behind the so-called research. In India, in Homoeopathy, the clinical trials referred to are on the similar lines. I personally, feel that the situation can be improved only after we are able to improve our education system. The physicians look to the combinations because they lack confidence in handling the cases, possibly because of less exposure to OPD/IPD. The manufacturers prepare combinations because of the economic factors. As Dr. Vashishth has pointed out, the enforcement of the rules, whether relating to manufacturing, or packing, or sale, or even to the implementation of G.M.P., is negligible, not only in Homoeopathy, but also in allopathy. The manufacturers promote the combinations to maintain the economic balance. The best way to curb this practice is the creation of circumstances that would make their demands minimised, and then the manufacturers would find the single drugs mfg. viable. This is possible only by improving overselves, i.e. by education

Patents do more of harm than the good they actually hinder the cure of the disease by interfering with the medicine’s action

Dear Dr Prabhat, if you have even primary knowlede of Pharmacokinetics or Pharmacy, you would know that when Medicines are actually mixed, their chemical structure and valency changes and so does their chemical and medicinal action, which is thereafter confirmed through clinical trials before it is being approved as patent medicine to be released for use by medical practicioners
