“ For Bangalore's vast population of young professionals and students living independently, the local pharmacy often becomes a first point of contact for minor health issues. This has led to an expansion of the pharmacist's role into triage and basic guidance. Pharmacists are trained to recognize when a symptom requires immediate doctor attention and when it can be managed with OTC support. Many pharmacies have tied up with telemedicine platforms, offering a direct video link to a doctor from a private booth within the store. This creates a hybrid "pharmacy-clinic" model that is immensely convenient. It also reflects a trust in the pharmacist's judgment. The Bangalore pharmacy is evolving into a gateway, seamlessly connecting self-care with professional medical consultation, all under one roof. -- https://genieknows.in/ ”
