A senior Union Health Ministry official said that very soon as government is set to make it a norm for physicians to prescribe medicines "preferably" in capital letters. The Health Ministry will come out with gazette notification under the MCI regulations. Under this, the prescription should be legible and preferably written in capital letters along with the names of the generic drug prescribed.
Health Ministry officials said that once the prescription is written in capital letters and is legible, it would be hugely benefit patients as well as chemists who would have clarity of the drug and it would take away the fear of misinterpretation.
