BAMS Doctor Allopathic Practice - #6836

Connor

I have a question about whether a BAMS doctor can practice allopathic medicine. Recently, I visited a BAMS doctor near my hometown for an old digestive issue, and I was surprised when they prescribed allopathic medicines along with Ayurvedic remedies. I thought BAMS doctors only worked with Ayurveda. Is it common for a BAMS doctor to practice allopathic medicine, or is it something they’re not supposed to do? I’ve been dealing with acidity and bloating for years, and while the Ayurvedic advice they gave me helped a bit, I didn’t know if I should trust the allopathic prescriptions. The BAMS doctor assured me they were trained in both systems, but I want to understand if it’s normal for a BAMS doctor to practice allopathic medicine or if it’s unusual. Another thing I noticed is that the doctor’s clinic had a mix of Ayurvedic oils and tablets alongside typical syrups and pills you’d expect at a pharmacy. It made me wonder how common it is for a BAMS doctor to use allopathic practice like this. Is there any specific certification required for a BAMS doctor to prescribe allopathic medicines, or is it included in their education? I don’t want to offend the doctor by questioning them, but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something like this. Should I be concerned about getting allopathic prescriptions from a BAMS doctor, or is this a regular practice? How can I check if they’re following proper guidelines?

In India, BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) doctors are trained primarily in Ayurveda and are licensed to practice Ayurvedic medicine. However, BAMS doctors do not typically have the formal training required to prescribe allopathic (modern) medicines unless they have additional qualifications in Western medicine, such as an MBBS or a specific certification in allopathy. While some BAMS practitioners may integrate both systems based on their individual experience or further training, it is important to note that their ability to prescribe allopathic medicines is legally and ethically governed. It’s essential for a BAMS doctor to adhere to Ayurvedic guidelines and not prescribe allopathic medicines unless they are qualified to do so. If you're unsure, you can ask the doctor about their qualifications or verify their credentials with the local medical board to ensure they are practicing within the scope of their training. It’s also important to ensure any treatment plan they recommend is tailored to your individual needs and aligns with your comfort level.
