“ For Mumbai’s sprawling film and advertising industry, pharmacies often cater to unusual hours and specific demands—from vocal lozenges for singers to high-end skincare for actors. They are attuned to the city’s stressful lifestyle, with a significant demand for vitamins, anti-anxiety medications (on prescription), and digestive aids. The fast-paced life also means a high incidence of lifestyle diseases, so diabetic care and cardiac medication sections are particularly well-developed. The best Mumbai pharmacies offer a kind of gritty warmth; they are efficient but not cold. In a city where personal space is limited, the brief exchange at the chemist might be one of the few personal interactions in a day, and a good chemist makes it count, offering a word of encouragement or a careful listen, embodying the city's famous spirit of "bindaas" yet caring. -- https://genieknows.in/ ”
