Antibiotics Medicines & Store Locator – Jan Aushadhi Shop

Bacterial infections — whether it's a chest infection, urinary infection, stomach infection, or a wound — need timely and complete antibiotic treatment to recover properly and avoid complications. Branded antibiotics can be significantly more expensive than their generic versions, which adds up for patients needing a full course of treatment.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), more than 15,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country offer generic antibiotics, with the same quality standards, but at 50-60% lower prices.

A Quick Word on Getting It Right

Antibiotics should always be taken as prescribed by a doctor, at the right dose and for the full duration — even if symptoms improve early. Stopping antibiotics midway can lead to incomplete treatment and antibiotic resistance.
