Saridon pain relief tablet, developed by Piramal Enterprises Ltd (PEL), has recently been announced to be exempt from a list of debarred fixed dose combinations (FDCs), by a Supreme Court ruling. According to an official press release by PEL, it was declared the company was granted a stay order from the Supreme Court on the ban in September 2018 that permitted the manufacturing, distribution and sale of Saridon. The press release mentions that Saridon is amongst the heritage analgesic brands in India, and one of the key products in PEL’s healthcare product portfolio that is widely trusted and enjoys strong customer loyalty globally. Nandini Piramal, PEL Executive Director, has been reported by the Economic Times to be commenting on the Supreme Court ruling and say that PEL is pleased with the apex court ruling and sees it as an affirmation to the company’s commitment to provide valuable and safe healthcare solutions that fulfils unique needs of Indian consumers. She added that PEL was always confident that the law would prevail in Piramal’s favor. For the record, in 2018 the Indian government banned 328 FDCs, terming them as 'irrational' due to their lack of therapeutic justification and safety issues.
