We all have fixed medicines that we use during common headache and allergies. These medicines have become a part of the life of many people but they all are about to get a new headache now.
The Government of India has decided to ban as much as 6000 medicine brands which also includes 328 fixed dose combinations. Among all the brands that have been banned the most popular one is Saridon and it has sent a shock wave among all the consumers.
More popular brands like skin cream Panderm, combination diabetes drug Gluconorm PG, antibiotic Lupidiclox and antibacterial Taxim AZ have also been banned. Reportedly, the decision of health ministry will impact the market of 2,000 – Rs 2,500 crore.
Though the decision has received some extreme reactions from manufacturers and consumers, it is expected to help the people stay safe from risky drugs. Have a look at some of the reactions-
