A blow to patients' pockets: Gas, BP, and heart disease medications become more expensive; the budget of those who take medicines regularly has deteriorated. After the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates decreased, allopathic medicines became cheaper, but now they have become expensive again. Companies have increased the prices of medicines used for gas, blood pressure, fever, and heart diseases, citing rising raw material and freight rates. Prices have increased by ₹13 to ₹23.
