No, you cannot get two separate licenses for practicing medicine and pharmacy in India after completing D.Pharmacy and MBBS.

D.Pharmacy focuses on dispensing medications and pharmaceutical knowledge, while MBBS qualifies you to diagnose and treat patients as a doctor. India has a single licensing system for both pharmacy and medicine. A D.Pharmacy or B.Pharmacy degree qualifies you for a Registered Pharmacist license, allowing you to dispense medications under the supervision of a registered pharmacist or doctor. An MBBS degree qualifies you for a Medical Council of India (MCI) registration, allowing you to practice medicine independently.

Your knowledge of medications gained from D.Pharmacy can enhance your ability to prescribe and manage medication for patients as a doctor.If you choose to specialize or open a clinic, your pharmacy background can be helpful in understanding medication logistics and inventory management.

I hope it helps!
