Prescription only
H1 medicines can be sold only against a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
3-year sale register
Pharmacists must record the patient and prescriber name, drug, quantity and date in a separate register kept for 3 years, open to inspection.
Warning label
Packs carry the H1 caution: it is dangerous to take this preparation except under medical supervision.
For prescribers
Prescribe H1 drugs only after a confirmed indication, document the diagnosis, and prefer the shortest effective course to limit antimicrobial resistance. On PlanMyDoc, H1 items are flagged in the prescription composer and on the printed prescription. This list is a practice aid, not the statutory text — always verify against the current Drugs and Cosmetics Rules and CDSCO notifications.
