APPENDIX VI – FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS
Fixed Dose Combinations refer to products containing one or more active ingredients used for a particular indication(s).
APPENDIX VI – FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS
GROUP 1 : One or more of the active ingredients is a new drug.
• Marketing data will be similar to data required for any new drug (including clinical trials)
APPENDIX VI – FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS cont’d
GROUP 2 : Active ingredients already approved/marketed individually,
combined for the first time, for a particular claim and where the ingredients are likely to have significant interaction of a pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic nature
If Marketed abroad :• Clinical trial reports of other countries• Regulatory status in other countries
If not Marketed abroad :• Chemical and pharmaceutical data will be submitted - chemical and
pharmaceutical data, stability of the proposed dosage form • Clinical trials (pharmacological, toxicological and clinical data on the individual
ingredients along with the rationale for combining them in the proposed ratio. Acute toxicity data (LD 50) and pharmacological data should be submitted on the individual ingredients as well as their combination in the proposed ratio.
APPENDIX VI – FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS
GROUP 3 : Already marketed, but in which it is proposed either to change the ratio of active ingredients or to make a new therapeutic claim. For such FDCs, the appropriate rationale including published reports (if any) should be submitted to obtain marketing permission. Permission will be granted depending upon the nature of the claim and data submitted.
APPENDIX VI – FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS
GROUP 4 : Individual active ingredients (or drugs from the same class) have been widely used in a particular indication(s) for years, their concomitant use is often necessary and no claim is proposed to be made other than convenience. It will have to be demonstrated that the proposed dosage form is stable and the ingredients are unlikely to have significant interaction of a pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic nature.
No additional animal or human data are generally required for these FDCs, and marketing permission may be granted if the FDC has an acceptable rationale.
