Fixed Drug Combination
- An FDC is a drug that is a combination of two or more drugs in fixed proportion.(For example Vicks Action 500)
- The health ministry feels such medicines "are causing anti-microbial resistance. The usage could even result in organ-failure.
- Govt has recently banned 344 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs, including several antibiotics and analgesics, saying that a government-appointed panel of experts had found the combinations lacked "therapeutic justification"
