Medicines with the composition of nimesulide and paracetamol are commonly used for fever, headache, migraine, muscle pain, toothache, arthritis pain, spondylitis, osteoarthritis, period pain etc. Overuse of these drugs can cause liver, kidney and heart problems.

The expert committee said that such fixed dose combination drugs can be harmful to human health. That is why they should be banned in public interest. The government banned such FDCs under Section 26A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

2016 decision was taken

FDC drugs are drugs that contain two or more APIs in a fixed ratio. In 2016, the government banned the manufacture, sale and distribution of 344 drug combinations. This decision was taken on the recommendation of an expert committee. This committee was formed by the Supreme Court. The committee said these drugs are being sold to patients without any scientific data. Pharmaceutical companies challenged this order. The 14 FDCs now banned are part of these 344 drug combinations.
