The government of India has recently banned 14 fixed dose combination drugs, including Nimesulide and Paracetamol, along with Chlopheniramine Maleate and Codeine syrup, citing that these drugs have no therapeutic justification and may involve risk to people. The Union Health Ministry has released a notification, stating that these drugs are no longer permitted for sale or distribution. The banned drugs are used for treating common infections, cough, and fever, and some of the combinations include Pholcodine + Promethazine, Amoxicillin + Bromhexine, and Salbutamol + Bromhexine. The decision to ban the drugs was based on the recommendations of an expert committee that stated that some fixed dose combination drugs may pose a risk to human health and should not be used. The government had earlier banned 344 drug combinations in 2016, and these 14 drugs were part of the earlier banned drugs. Fixed dose combination drugs contain two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in a fixed ratio. This decision by the government is an effort to ensure public safety and protect people from potential health risks.
