Although, these pharmacists get to know about the government and regulatory norms reading about them in the dailies and other medium, it\u2019s the responsibility of drug manufacturers to educate all the pharmacists on the possible ways of the drug misusage. It\u2019s also the responsibility of drug prescribers, medical practitioner and Medical Institutions to educate Pharmacists about the trends of drug abuse cases they have come across in the recent past.<\/p>\n<p>Lake B2B also plays a small role in fighting against prescription abuse.
