Who is bigger, Kokate decision or Drugs and Cosmetics Act? In court both
are fail because industry has done nothing wrong, they have legally valid
license and manufacturing as per the law of the land. It is also clear that
DCGI cannot over rule state approval.
You can ban approved drugs on the basis of adverse drug reaction data
and there is no data available with Kokate committee. Government should
implement Pharmacovigilance or safety vigilance on all medicine available
into the market place. Currently CDSCO suggests to submit PSUR (periodic
safety update report) for new drugs means up to 4 years from the date of
approval from CDSCO. It is also wrong vigilance on medicine should be
mandatory for full product life cycle.
Current sale of Jyoti agarwal from Ahmedabad is 4 lakh after ban of 344 FDC and earlier it
was 1, 25,00000 rupees per month. He fired all 55 employees at a time and others are doing
the same thing. Industry degrown by 10% in one go and it will go down and down.
Rational FDC law should be in place to give clearance to old approved FDC and industry can
apply for new innovative FDC. Industry is ready to invest but they are scary whether they
will get approval or not because law is not in place and uncertainty is there in the mind of
manufacturers.
We are 1/6th population of the world and we should be pioneer in introducing in approval
criteria for innovative FDC under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. Only 65 million population
(United Kingdom) and 350 million population (USA) are leading world and more than 1400
population is following them in pharma sector. Now, Indian pharmaceuticals companies will
lead the world if government will come up with industry friendly steps.
Dear Modi, take up this issue seriously, your team is working against Make In India and
Innovation in India. Your team is autocratic in approach and legally wrong and they have lack
of knowledge to deal with medicine. Email:medicarechief@gmail.com
