NPPA Yet to Respond on Drug Price Variation, Concerns Over 1,000% Increase in Certain Cough Syrups

The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), responsible for regulating drug prices in the country, has not yet responded to the UT health secretary’s inquiry regarding price fluctuations in certain non-essential drugs. Although these drugs are not subject to price control, they are not permitted to increase their maximum retail price (MRP) by more than 10 percent within a year. However, it has been discovered that the MRPs of three cough syrup brands have experienced a staggering increase of over 1,000 percent within a year, despite initially being sold by the manufacturer to the retailer for Rs 18 to Rs 19 per bottle. UT health secretary Yashpal Garg expressed concern over the lack of response from the NPPA. In May, the health department urged the NPPA to investigate the matter and take appropriate action. The UT health department deemed this practice unjustified, even though these drugs are not subject to price control regulations. During a visit to GMSH 16, it was uncovered that one cough syrup brand had an MRP that was 1,483 percent higher than its initial sale price from the manufacturer. Similarly, another brand had an 837 percent margin above the initial sale price, and a manufacturer from Solan recorded an 889 percent margin. Chandigarh is currently in the process of establishing a pharmaceutical price monitoring resource unit (PPMRU). ​Although a society has already been registered for the PPMRU, it will take some time before it becomes fully operational. Once established, the PPMRU will monitor drug prices and provide the necessary information to the NPPA. This local monitoring system aims to enable authorities to examine such cases at a local level instead of relying solely on the central agency, as stated by an official in the UT health department.

Gap between 2nd dose and precaution dose of Covid vaccines reduced on NTAGI’s advice: Govt

The government informed Parliament on Friday that the duration between the second and precaution dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for all beneficiaries 18 years of age and older has been changed from nine months to six months based on the recommendations made by the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI). Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar stated in a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha that as of August 1, a total of 9.07 crore (13%) precaution doses of the Covid vaccinations were administered against the due beneficiaries. According to the minister, the Center monitors the rate of Covid immunisation and has repeatedly advised the states and union territories to provide the eligible beneficiaries with precautionary doses. Through door-to-door mobilisation and vaccination activities, the “Har Ghar Dastak 2.0” campaign is being carried out nationwide with the goal of immunising all eligible beneficiaries with the second dosage and the precautionary dose. According to the “Covid Vaccination Amrit Mahotsava” initiative, the precaution dose would be given for free to all recipients 18 years of age and older at the government-run Covid vaccination centres (CVCs) six months after the second dose is administered, according to Pawar.
