India Mandates QR Codes on Emergency Contraceptives

India's drug regulator is making a new rule for emergency contraceptive pills.

These pills, like Unwanted-72 and i-pill, will now have QR codes on their packaging.

When you scan the QR code, it will show important information about the medicine, like how to take it, possible side effects, and warnings.

The main warnings say these pills should not be used more than twice a month and do not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Experts say this will help women use these pills safely and correctly.

The rule is part of a bigger effort to make sure people have the right information about medicines.

Big companies that make these pills, like Mankind Pharma and Cipla, will be affected by this new rule.
