The government has banned 14 fixed dose combination (FDCs) drugs. They include nimesulide and paracetamol dispersible tablets, clopheniramine maleate and codeine syrup. The government says that the use of these drugs can be harmful to human health. The distribution, manufacture and sale of these drugs has been banned.

These drugs were inviting serious illnesses

This was stated in a notification issued by the government. The government has taken this step based on the recommendations of the expert committee. 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.

Which drugs are included in the list?

This list includes Nimesulide + Paracetamol Dispersible Tablets, Chlopheniramine Maleate + Codeine Syrup, Pholcodine + Promethazine, Amoxicillin + Bromhexine and Bromhexine + Dextromethorphan + Ammonium Chloride + Menthol, Paracetamol + Bromhexine + Phenylephrine + Chlorpheniramine + Guaiphenesin and Salbutamol + Bromhexine. 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.
