Netmeds, Practo, 4 other firms implead in e-pharma case in Madras HC

Chennai-based Tamil Nadu Chemists & Druggists Association has sought a stay on selling medicines online

Six online pharmacy majors in the country have pleaded before the Madras High Court that the recent interim stay on selling medicines online should only be implemented on unauthorised companies. They have argued this as part of the appeal to implead them in the case. Meanwhile, the Chennai-based Tamil Nadu Chemists & Druggists Association (TNCDA), which sought a stay on selling medicines online, argued that no company has the licence to do the same.     

The companies that impleaded on Friday were 1MG Technologies, Digital Health Platforms, Netmeds Market Place, 91 Streets Media Technologies, Medline International and Practo Technologies.
