Hi everyone, [Apologies, I thought I'd sent this ages back - just discovered it still in drafts]
Sanjay Vishwakarma +919892700472 from Sun Pharma called, gave me a pharmacy in less than 10 minutes which had 5 strips not too far from Khar West in Mumbai where requestor lives alone with no vehicle. (Subsequently Yogesh Sonawane +919619669206 from Sun Pharma also called - he said a list may be difficult but to reach out to him and Sanjay for any requirements) Tried Dunzoing it but for some reason is showed out of coverage. So Caremongers Mumbai fulfilled it and medicines reached her within the hour. (The request was originally on Caremongers so that helped) Thanks for all the offers of help. Ashok from The Banyan ( [email protected] ) also offered to get availability info from The Banyan's supplier network. *I do think a list of pharmacies where mental health / neuro medication supplies WILL be available for the next few months would help instead of this tracking down of current stock availability.* I will follow up with pharma groups, in the meantime can you start work with your network Ashok? Let's push this information out so there's less anxiety everywhere on these grounds at least. When the information is available will dump it on http://bit.ly/ccc-site Vaishnavi --------------------------------------- VAISHNAVI JAYAKUMAR http://about.me/vjayakumar --------------------------------------- *VAISHNAVI JAYAKUMAR* http://about.me/vjayakumar On Wed, 8 Apr 2020 at 11:03, Vaishnavi Jayakumar (Inclusive India) < [email protected]> wrote: > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Vaishnavi Jayakumar (Inclusive India) < > [email protected]> > Date: Wed, 8 Apr, 2020, 11:01 am > Subject: Non-availability of psychotropics in pharmacies during lockdown > To: <[email protected]> > Cc: <[email protected]>, < > [email protected]>, <[email protected]> > > > 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.
