Drugs Bans In India: What do you do first if you have a cold or fever? I think usually all the people go to their nearest medical store and take its medicine. Most of these paracetamol is bought, but now you will not be able to buy these medicines because now you will not get these medicines in the market. Not only this, the government has banned 14 medicines that give instant relief. The government has banned 14 fixed dose combination medicines. The government believes that these claims can pose a threat to human health.
FDC is dangerous for health
This decision has been taken on the advice of the expert committee. This is the reason why its manufacture, distribution and sale has been banned. Usually we or you take paracetamol and its combination medicines for fever, headache, muscle pain, dental pain, arthritis pain, osteoarthritis, period pain. Arbitrary use of these claims can cause liver kidney and heart problems. The government has banned such FDCs under Section 26A of the Drug and Cosmetic Act, 1940.

What is FDC?
FDC stands for Fixed Dose Combination. This is such a medicine which is prepared from the composition of two or more claims. Such claims are banned in many countries including America, but such medicines are sold the most in India. However, now the government has banned it. Let me tell you that this is not the first time. Earlier in 2016, the government had banned the manufacture, sale and distribution of 344 drug combinations. This decision was taken on the recommendation of an expert committee. This committee was constituted by the Supreme Court. The committee said that these claims are being sold to patients without any scientific data. The pharmaceutical companies challenged this order. The same FDCs which have been banned now are part of those 344 drug combinations.
