Doctors prescribing branded medication instead of general medicine to patients has been a persistent issue. Clause 1.5 of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, prescribes that every physician should, as far as possible, prescribe drugs with generic names.

Written by Poile Sengupta, the play is directed by Samragni Dasgupta and performed by Jimmy Xavier and Urvashi H.V. Speaking to The Hindu, Samragni said that the play struck a chord with her when she read it at the Drama Library by Bhasha Centre for the first time. “The play was funny, it was sarcastic, humourous, nuanced, and it was talking about some very important things. It felt like the play encompasses things that are really relevant today while also using mythological characters, which made it very relatable. The play is a new dimension to modern day problems,” she added.
