Phensedyl, Corex in 350 banned drugs
In a move to ensure safety and efficacy of medicines, the health ministry has banned around 350 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs that were widely available in the market till now, reports Sushmi Dey.These medicines include FDCs based on codeine, used in popular cough syrups like Phensedyl and Corex.The government has decided to prohibit manufacturing and sale of these medicines because they were found to be “irrational“ without any therapeutic efficacy and use. Also, in some cases, there were concerns about misuse of such medicines considered unsafe for mass consumption, official sources told TOI.
While the health minis ry has already approved the ban order with immediate ef ect from Friday , the gazette notification is likely to be printed by Monday , a health ministry official said.
Afixed dose combination or FDC is one that contains wo or more drugs combined n a fixed ratio of doses and available in a single dosage orm. “We have deliberated on the issue for around four years and these cases were examined and evaluated at different levels by the drug regulator as well as by an expert committee. Following their recommendations, we also issued show cause notices to companies manufacturing and selling these drugs. The responses have also been considered in detail before arriving at this decision in public interest,“ the official said.
Experts say many unapproved formulations and FDCs are sold in India. Most of these medicines are in the anti-depressant and psychotic condition segment. Industry estimates suggest the move is likely to impact pharmaceutical sales to the tune of around `1500 crore.
