Centre Bans 156 Fixed-Dose Combination Drugs Over Safety Concerns

The Indian government has banned 156 fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs, citing potential risks to human health. The decision follows recommendations from an expert committee and the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, which found these drugs lacked therapeutic justification. The banned drugs include combinations like Aceclofenac + Paracetamol and Mefenamic Acid + Paracetamol. The ban aims to protect public health from unsafe and ineffective medications.
