google will help... use it wisely.

its not only nepal but in all developing countries... from africa to asia... , you dont need prescription to buy antibiotics...  about narcotics.. it depends on the comfort level of the druggist.. 

people might use narcotics to commit suicide.. and these druggists obviously dont want to be in trouble.. otherwise to answer your question.. no you dont need prescription for both.

on top of it, you can scan and print any doctor's letter pad and write whatever you want... lol.. its that simple..  after pharmcy fill the presctiption... they dont return the prescription back to pt. (patient).. here in usa.   

but in nepal.. pharmacy do not keep the prescriptions after they fill it.. they will return it back to pt. so that one person can get this prescription filled multiple times in different pharamcies.... lol..  i love it.

and if you are thinking about the status of pharmacy law in nepal.. then.. its not worth thinking right now... nepal does not have any law and order anymore.... maoist can kill people.. janmukti morch can kill anyone.. jttm can kill anyone...  and you are thinking about people being killed becoz of overdose of medication...  no body keeps record of it..  and pharmacy practice law is in very primitive phase...  let alone this pharmacy law, the whole legal system is in vulnerable condition....   

anyway its a good topic to write paper.. these khaire will be socked to know... lol...  but not one single person who has lived in any of the developing countries will be surprised.. and never bother to think on it.....  

first make people safe from banduk and baarud.. and then think about pills.

by the way there is difference between hospital pharmacy and clinical pharmacy...  few hospital might have pharmacy in the hospital.. but they dont practice clinical pharmacy there... clinical pharamcy is r/t monitoring therapeutic effects of medications.. and making certain protocol for hospital's formulary...   and doing clinical researches to take advantage of the therapeutic effects of medication... 

the only thing pharmacists do in nepal is to sell drugs... exactly the same model as liquor shop.. you pay.. and buy stuffs.. or exactly the cashier of a gas station.. lol...

another dilemma is that few years back they change the law that every pharmacy must have one assigned pharmacist to register their pharmacy to the govt.  and see what happened. one pharmacist is linked to more than 50  stores in ktm.. this pharmacist gets some money for signing some paperwork which is required to open new pharmacy... and finally, this pharmacist will forget that for how many pharmacies he has signed the paper for being their assigned pharmacist... lol...  

the pharmacy union is too timid in nepal to negotiate anything with the govt...  and this is obvious coz these people dont know how to do chakka jam.. lol...   or honestly there is no significant roles that these pharmacists are playing in nepal...  they seem to be overflowing water of the river... 

their roles must be more specific than just selling medication like a cashier of a gas station....   until then.. i dont see any hope...   

i apologize for being rough on pharmacists in nepal if anybody gets hurt.
