The Indian government has banned 14 fixed combination drugs, including nimesulide and paracetamol dispersible tablets, citing "no therapeutic justification" and potential risks to people.

The move aims to protect public health and safety.

These drugs were commonly used for treating infections, cough, and fever.

The decision follows recommendations from an expert committee, and the government has taken this step to ensure the well-being of citizens.

Fixed dose combination drugs contain multiple active ingredients in a specific ratio.

This action is part of the government's ongoing efforts to regulate the pharmaceutical industry and ensure the availability of safe and effective medications.
