Coverage on June 2, 2026 described how stakeholders were tracking a development that drew same-day news attention. Union Health Ministry gazette notification banned 14 FDCs (June 2023) under Section 26A Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
In addition, expert committee/DTAB found no therapeutic justification; includes cough/cold combinations (e.g., nimesulide+paracetamol dispersible tablets). Reporting note: Ban verified for 2023, not June 2026.
The matter remains under active review according to published timelines.
