Bottles of cough syrup are displayed on shelves at a chemist's shop in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 16, 2026. India bans the over-the-counter sale of all cough syrups, requiring consumers to obtain a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner before purchasing the medicines. The new rules restrict cough syrup sales to licensed pharmacies, particularly in villages and small towns, where some syrup-based medicines were previously exempt from standard drug-sale requirements. This follows increased regulatory scrutiny after contamination-linked child deaths in recent years. Previously, certain cough syrups were included on an exemption list under drug regulations, allowing them to be sold over the counter under relaxed rules.
