Does my pharmacy really need a website in Uttar Pradesh?

UP FSDA has directed retail pharmacies to publish their licence number, appointed pharmacist, licensed premises and stock details on a public website, with weekly updates, effective 1 November 2026. Please confirm the exact requirement for your licence type with the FSDA order or your drug inspector.

What information has to be on the website?

Licence number, appointed pharmacist, licensed premises and stock-related details, updated weekly. Hospital pharmacies are also expected to display purchase and sale prices of drugs.

How often does the website need to be updated?

Weekly. That is why we build a stock list you can refresh yourself in a few minutes, and we can also take over the weekly update if you prefer.

I don't have any technical knowledge. Can you manage it for me?

Yes. You send your stock sheet on WhatsApp or email and we update the site. You never have to touch code.

Is TechOTD an official or FSDA-approved vendor?

No. We are a web development company that builds sites designed to help pharmacies meet the published requirements. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by FSDA.

What happens if my medical store does not have a website?

Penalties and enforcement are decided by FSDA and the drug control rules, and we are not a legal adviser. Check the FSDA order or ask your drug inspector. What we can say is that starting early leaves time to fix gaps before 1 November.

Is a Facebook page, WhatsApp number or Google listing enough?

The directive talks about a public website carrying specific details. We would not rely on a social page or listing as a substitute; confirm with FSDA if you are unsure. A proper website also helps patients find you.

How long does it take to get live?

Once we have your licence details and stock sheet, a standard pharmacy site can be ready within days. Do not wait for the last week of October - start now.

What the new UP rule says

A plain-language summary. Always confirm the exact requirement for your licence type with the FSDA order or your drug inspector.

Every retail pharmacy needs a public website

UP's Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) has directed retail pharmacies to publish their essential details on a public website, so patients can verify who they are buying from.

Licence, pharmacist, premises and stock details

The site must show your drug licence number, the appointed pharmacist, the licensed premises and stock-related details.

Updated every week

The information must be refreshed weekly. A one-time static page is not enough - someone has to keep it current.

Hospital pharmacies: show purchase and sale price

Pharmacies inside hospital premises are expected to display a price list with the actual purchase price and sale price of drugs, since patients there rarely have an alternative.
