Former India seamer Javagal Srinath has said that pharmaceuticals and multivitamins have played a role in terms of recovery of athletes and pharmacies will play a role in human activities as they continue to evolve.

The former right-arm pacer stated that he has taken salts which help in killing the pain.

Srinath told ANI on the sidelines of the International Conference on 'Global Collaboration in Pharmaceuticals, Bridging Borders, Breaking Barriers' and said that some of the medicines are relaxants that also help sportspersons.

"As sportsmen, we live on painkillers. I have been living on lots of salts which kill the pain. it is not good but at times you need it. Its side effects have lessened quite a bit and some of the medicines are relaxants. Pharmacy will play a role in whichever activity it could be and it is evolving... Pharmaceuticals have played a huge role in terms of recovery, and so have multivitamins," he said.
