  • Supreme court has lifted the ban and allowed the sale of 3 Fixed Dose combination drugs FDC, Saridon, Piriton cough expectorant and Dart.
  • It was argued that the medicines were manufactured before 1988 and thus should be exempted from the banned list.
 
  • These drugs were part of the 328 FDC drugs whose manufacture, distribution and sale were banned by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on September
  • The FDC drugs are two or more drugs combined in a fixed ratio into a single dosage form, thereby reducing the number of drugs to be taken every day.
