Jalpa Parmar | Dr. Hetal Solanki

Abstract: To analyse the rationality of selected antimicrobial FDCs used in the Indian market and to find out irrational FDCs existing in Indian market. The rise in illogical fixed dosage combinations is causing considerable worry. They place an unwarranted financial burden on patients, raise the risk of negative drug reactions, and significantly lower quality of life. The patient must receive medication that is appropriate for their clinical needs, in a dose that meets their unique requirements, for an adequate amount of time, and at the least expensive cost to them and their community. FDCs are classified as new medications since the effectiveness, safety, and bioavailability profiles change when two or more pharmaceuticals are combined into a single formulation. In India prescribing rational FDC is very important in medical practice, reason being majority of them are available freely in Indian market. Since large number of FDC are being manufactured every year, knowledge and evaluation of FDC available in the market is becoming increasingly important for better health outcomes.
