  • Salbutamol + Bromhexine

The decision was made in response to the suggestions of an expert committee. According to the expert committee, there is “no therapeutic justification for this FDC (fixed dose combination), and the FDC may involve a risk to humans.” As a result, in the broader public interest, the manufacturing, sale, or distribution of this FDC is prohibited under Section 26 A of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940. Given the foregoing, any form of limitation or restriction allowing for any usage by patients is unjustifiable.”

“And whereas, on the basis of the recommendations of the Expert Committee and the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, the Central Government is satisfied that it is necessary and expedient in the public interest to regulate by way of prohibition the manufacture for sale, sale and distribution for human use of the said drug in the country,” stated the health ministry notification.
