Can a dentist open a chemist shop?

Answer 1

Most likely, no. That's because a dentist's chemical used is different from a normal chemist shop. If one does not know the drugs properly, he or she can give the customer a wrong type of medicine. Which can cause more damage to the body. If you want to open a chemist shop, you should go and study medicines. What are the types of medicine, what can it treat, if it is taken wrongly, what will happen, such things.

8.5 Running an Open Shop (Dispensing of Drugs and Appliances by Physicians):

A Dental Surgeon should not run an open shop for sale of medicine for dispensing prescriptions prescribed by doctors other than him or for sale of dental medical or surgical appliances. It is not unethical for a Dental Surgeon to prescribe, supply or sell drugs, remedies or dental appliances in his clinic as long as there is no exploitation of the patients. Drugs prescribed by a Dental Surgeon or brought from the market for a patient should explicitly state the proprietary formulae as well as generic name of the drug.
