Medicine Bann In India

I learn from reliable quarters that renerve and renerveplus tabs / capsules are banned in India. Is it true? Our local pharmacy refuses to supply this as the legal process to get the ban removed may take months, if at all. They instead suggest Biocobal plus tabs. Are these reliable and preferable? ## On the ban, I'm sorry, but since it is in India, I know nothing about that. Biocobal contains the active ingredients: 50mgs Calcium, 1mg Mecobalamin, 45mgs Nicotinamide, 3mgs Pyridoxone and 10mgs of Thiamine. This is a B complex vitamin supplement. In India it is commonly given to treat nerve pain, anemia and deficiencies. It does not contain as many nutrients as Renerve or Renerve Plus. Have you spoken to a doctor about what you should use? ## I dont think Renerve is banned in India......

I am using Pioz MF G2 to control my Blood sugar since two years. Blood sugar level is well controlled. Recently when I tried to find this medicine from market, I am told this is banned due to some chances of stomach cancer. Can any Doctor advise me why it is banned and should I continue the same medicine or not. Regards, Sanjib M. ## Hi Sanjib, Based on my research, the ban on Pioglitazone (Pioz MF G2) in India was actually revoked back in August of 2013. Apparently the reason why it was banned in the first place had to do with the central government's opinion concerning the safety of Pioglitazone, thinking it may have had life-threatening side effects (I believe cancer was one of them). However, after several protests from doctors across the country, I guess they let up on their de...

I have heard that in some friends that as per the news paper articles published recently ANXIT has been banned i India. Honestly I have not personally read these articles, but one of the people who gave this information about the articles is my own elder sister who had earlier consulted a doctor who had prescribed Anxit for my Dad. Now the same sister advised us to STOP ANXIT as she had personally read the news about banning of ANXIT. Please advice whether this drug is safe for Dementia and Alzheimer Disease patients. ## I am based in India.

can i no why cold act tablet banned from India. Please let me know ## Hello, I'm not sure if the information I'm finding is referring to a specific country or if it's just in general. But from what I could gather, over the counter sales of cold tablets which use the methamphetamine precursors "ephedrine and pseudoephedrine" are said to be banned soon under a new parliament. Although they are effective cold remedies, the reason behind the ban is that these ingredients are used for the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine; and when the bill becomes law the tablets which use them will then be available by prescription-only. Perhaps there may be other underlying reasons behind this ban in India, but you would have to confirm this with your local pharmacy for more detai...

Curious. Rx filled for Percocet 7.5 365 for shoulder surgery. The only something I got was severe gas. Very small amount of relief. Seldom take pain medz. Called RiteAide, advised this is only generic medz allowed by my plan type. However, generic medz can be as effective, depending on manufacturer. Further research entailed corporation is in India. WTF! Is it more dangerous to give authentic medication which has greater addictive properties or give cheaper similar medz from abroad which may inadvertently kill you just because the USA pharma industry wants cheap for higher profit margin. Canadian medz banned (online) to be replaced with whatevers for India? Have we lost our minds these Corporate suits profit over health. . ## Hello, Helena! How are you doing?
