Hi, There's a lady in Mumbai who's halving her Olanzapine 2.5 mg dosage with adverse outcomes, because she has only 1 strip left and no pharmacies near Khar West seem to stock it. Other cases like hers abound. As Sun Pharma is one of the most prolific manufacturers of psychotropics in India, I was wondering if you already have some network in place for people running short of critical medicines at this harrowing time. Could this list of pharmacies (at least in metropolitan cities) which can definitely supply psychotropic / neuro medicines be made public please with an official helpline and some awareness via your social media presence please? I look forward to hearing from you. This particular Mumbai case is urgent, so I would be obliged if you could call me to facilitate the process so a relapse can be avoided at all costs. If there are any other cross-sectoral networks in place for other drug shortages, do share that information as well. It would save a lot of time in COVID relief efforts.
