There are 74 US FDA-approved manufacturing facilities in India. A dose is the quantity to be administered at one time, or the total quantity administered during a specified period. A combination of two or more actives in a fixed ratio of doses is known as fixed dose combination. The development of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) is becoming increasingly important from a public health perspective. However, because of un-avoided dangerous adverse effects, Central Government of India banned about 344 FDCs on March 10th 2016 as per recommendations of six-member committee headed by CK Kokate. Banned drugs are still available in India due to lack of awareness and law enforcement. The present article provides a complete list of approved and banned FDCs in 2016. The pharmacist should play an active role in patient education of such banned and approved drugs regularly and then play an key role in maintain healthy India. Keywords: Dose, FDC, Banned drugs, Approved drugs.
