- The Government of India banned 16 Fixed Dose Combinations (FDCs) under Section 26A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, due to lack of therapeutic justification and safety concerns.
- The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued notifications prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of these medicines for human use with immediate effect.
- The decision was based on the recommendations of an expert committee after scientific assessment of risks and benefits.
- The banned combinations include drugs used in pain relief, antibiotics, dermatological treatments, and antispasmodic treatments.
- The move aims to ensure the availability of safe, effective, and scientifically validated medicines and promote rational drug use in India.
