    single dose. While 344 of the contested drugs are currently available in the market as the Delhi HighCourt in December last quashed the ban on them imposed in March last year, the otherfive FDCs banned in June, too, can now return to the market. The Supreme Court bench said DTAB or a sub-committee it sets up should heararguments by the drug industry as well as patient group All India Drug Action Network(AIDAN), which is in favour of the ban notifications, before preparing its report. The government is expected to carefully consider this report, “apply its mind” andaccordingly either maintain or modify its ban notifications, according to it. The Kokate committee — the government’s expert committee that had studied the FDCsand declared them “irrational” — was not clear as to the reasoning behind its decision, itobserved. The top court last month said the government does not have to consult statutory bodieslike DTAB before banning FDCs as such consultations were not specified in Section 26A ofthe Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The government had used Section 26A, which defines itspower to regulate the manufacture and sale of drugs "in public interest", to ban thesedrugs last year on a separate expert committee's recommendation. “The judgment means that the government need not mandatorily consult DTAB to prohibitthe manufacture and sale of FDCs it finds irrational and can use expert committees like theKokate committee,” said S Srinivasan, a member of AIDAN. “Earlier, the Delhi High Courthad quashed the ban only on the reasoning that DTAB was not consulted, but now thegovernment has been empowered to act fast,” he said. “The only drawback is that sixmonths seems too short a deadline to achieve all this,” he added. AIDAN’s counsel Colin Gonsalves told the court on Thursday that there are 40,000contested and debated FDCs in India, while any well-regulated country allows 500 FDCsat most. Lawyers representing drug makers said the decision is a victory for the industry. “The court has referred the matter for a fresh look to decide if the drugs require to bebanned under Section 26A of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act,” said Ashish Prasad, partner atEconomic Laws Practice, who represented Indian Drug Manufacturers Association (IDMA),Federation of Pharma Entrepreneurs (FOPE) and Confederation of Indian PharmaceuticalIndustries (CIPI) during the proceedings. Archana Sahadeva, associate partner at Singh & Singh Law Firm, who represented drugmakers such as Cipla, MacLeods, Alembic and Microlabs, said, “This means that theprocess will now be more transparent.” The 300 plus contested drugs include popular brands such as Corex, Phensedyl, D’ColdTotal, Vicks Action 500 Extra and Saridon.

Meanwhile, officials close to the development have said that the health ministry hasaccepted the recommendations and is coordinating with states to set up committees to findany aggrieved patients that have not come forward to claim damages. These committeesare expected to advertise for patients to approach them and, depending on physical andclinical data, the committee is expected to ascertain to what extent the hip implants havecaused damage to the patient. Subsequently, a central committee is supposed to takethese findings and suggest a compensation for the patient that J&J will have to pay up,officials earlier told ET. Yet, the health minister's statement on Monday suggest that the government may wait totake action in this matter. "We share your concerns, however we are still deliberating upon the matter," said Naddain response to queries on why the report had not been made public and why no stringentaction has been taken in this matter yet even though the committee's findings had beensubmitted six months ago. J&J, through subsidiary DePuy Orthopaedics, had issued a global recall of the implantsystem, called ASR Hip System, in 2010 after it received "new information" from the UKNational Joint Registry, a J&J spokesperson earlier said.

    Reportedly over 4,500 patients in India had received this implant, and J&J is said to havereported over 100 serious adverse events to the Central Drugs Standard ControlOrganisation between 2014 and 2017.

    ascertained. When contacted, Sun Pharmasaid it had no comment to offer. The USFDA inspection at Halol in 2015 had resulted in 23 observations – a set ofdeficiencies in the manufacturing processes. The next inspection in 2016 resulted in nineobservations and the last one conducted in February this year had cited threeobservations. Interestingly, earlier this month Sun Pharma had announced a product recall of 5,215 unitsof 10 ml vials of testosterone cypionate injections from the US market. The product wasmanufactured at Halol. The reason for the recall cited in media reports was the presenceof particulate matter – organic and inorganic compounds detected in vials of the product.

    But it is unclear if the current inspection is actually triggered by the same recall or it is asmaller one only to approve a product or a few products. Pre-approval inspections areconducted if the USFDA intends to examine a site for approval of a single or a fewproducts.
