You Can Now Buy Vicks Action 500, Corex As Delhi Court Cancels Ban
"The move covered fixed-dose combination drugs, which are cocktails of medicines that are used worldwide to improve patients' compliance in complicated courses of treatment, especially for conditions such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria."
( this is ND TV swallowing the propaganda of the pharma companies )
The truth is
"The decision is another setback for India's efforts to weed out irrational fixed-dose combination drugs from the market. A similar move in 2007 to ban about 294 such drugs was also met with stiff resistance from the industry, which obtained a stay."
Did the companies fight the ban saying the combinations are scientific ?
NO
"Most companies filed petitions arguing the government did not exercise its powers appropriately." Another technical win for pharma MNC
