FAQ :
The NPPA has fixed the maximum retail prices (MRPs) for several new drug formulations, particularly combination drugs used for pain relief and diabetes management.
The maximum retail prices fixed by the NPPA are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). Manufacturers can add GST only if it is payable.
Examples include Aceclofenac, Paracetamol & Thiocolchicoside tablets, Ibuprofen & Paracetamol suspension, and various combinations of Dapagliflozin, Glimepiride, Metformin, Sitagliptin, and Empagliflozin.
Any violation, including overcharging, will result in the recovery of the overcharged amount along with interest, as per the Essential Commodities Act, 1955.
The move is intended to prevent the overpricing of essential combination drugs, ensuring affordability and transparency in the pharmaceutical market for patients managing chronic conditions.
