Presence of dusts, protection against direct sunlight, drugs stored on floor, provision of temperature monitoring charts and facilities to monitor room temperature are common problems encountered in the pharmacies. According to the results the standard of the storage area was found to be very good for warehouses (9 out of 11 rating scale) and above adequate (7 out of 11 rating scale) for the public pharmacies.
