Over-the-counter drug stores in stores are popular
The integration of convenience stores and pharmacies in Beijing has entered the "fast forward" mode. The reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Department on June 12, on the basis of the additional drug counters in convenience stores, the city's pharmacies frequently try to open convenience stores and other shop-in-shops, so that more people can enjoy the convenience of one-stop shopping for all daily necessities and drugs. Convenience stores selling drugs all the way up the number of citizens to buy drugs to be more convenient, thanks to last October the city issued a "number of measures to further promote the development of convenience stores," proposed "chain convenience stores can apply for retail operation of class B non-prescription drugs in accordance with the relevant standards." Convenience store chains retail drugs, indeed brings great convenience.
The public can buy the drugs they need without leaving the community, so they don't have to go to a farther pharmacy to buy them. After Beijing finalized this measure, Jingkelong convenience store in Chaoyang District, East Gongti Road, became the city's first taster in December last year. The number of convenience stores selling drugs in the city has been on the rise since this year, and on May 22, the Haidian Market Supervision Bureau approved the first convenience store in Haidian District to be allowed to sell drugs in the courtyard of the University of Science and Technology of Beijing, the 68th store. In this convenience store, which is adjacent to the dormitory area, you can see shelves with common Class B non-prescription drugs and home medical equipment such as Banlangen granules, Golden Lotus soft capsules, rectified intestine, thermometer and blood pressure meter. The sales staff told reporters that there are more than 200 kinds of Class B non-prescription drugs and more than 50 kinds of medical devices sold in the store.
