E-drug: Re: Dipyrone  
---------------------------------------------

Re: Dipyrone

India has banned all combination products containing Dipyrone  
(prominent among these being Hoechst's Bralgan). However  
single ingredient products are still available.

The ban came into force as a consequence of a Public Interest  
Litigation filed in India's apex Court by three Consumer  
organisations - National Campaign Committee for Drug Policy, All  
India Drug Action Network and Drug Action Forum. The complaint  
seeks to ban a large number of hazardous and irrational drugs,  
and matters pertaining to a large number of drugs are still under  
consideration.
