The central government has banned 156 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs used
for fever, cold, allergy and pain. Central Government 156 Medicine Banned The
government banned these medicines and said that these medicines can prove
dangerous to human health. FDC drugs are prepared by mixing two or more drugs
in fixed pharmaceutical proportions. This is also called cocktail medicine.
According to a gazette notification issued by the Union Ministry of Health on
August 12, the government has banned the famous drug 'Aceclofenac 50 mg +
Paracetamol 125 mg tablets' manufactured by top pharma companies, which are
used as pain relievers.
Safer alternatives exist
A notification issued by the Center said, "The Central Government is satisfied
that the use of the fixed dose combination drug may pose a risk to humans,
while safer alternatives to the above drug are available." He said the matter
was probed by an expert committee appointed by the Center which termed the FDC
as "irrational".
DTAB recommended an investigation
He further said that the apex panel Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB)
had also recommended the investigation of this FDC. There is no medical
support for the ingredients contained in these FDCs."
"FDC may pose a risk to human beings. Therefore, in the larger public
interest, it is necessary to ban the manufacture, sale or distribution of
this FDC under Section 26A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940," the
notification said.
Following the recommendations of the DTAB, the notification said, "The
Central Government is satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest
to ban the manufacture, sale and distribution of the said drug for human use
in the country."
Earlier last year, in June 2023, 14 FDCs were banned. Sources said many of
the recently banned FDCs were also among those 344 drug combinations. The
government banned the manufacture, sale and distribution of 344 drug
combinations in 2016. At the time, an expert panel constituted on the orders
of the Supreme Court said they were being sold to patients without
scientific data. The drug companies challenged this order in court.
