Why are Flupenthixol and Melitracen tablets banned?
Google's bard Ai:
Flupentixol and Melitracen tablets are banned in some countries because they have been linked to serious side effects, including:
Seizures
Coma
Death
In addition, the combination of flupentixol and melitracen has not been shown to be any more effective than taking the two drugs separately. As a result, the risks of taking the combination outweigh the benefits.
The following countries have banned flupentixol and melitracen tablets:
Australia
Canada
European Union
Japan
New Zealand
United States
In India, the drug was banned in 2013 but was later reinstated after the manufacturers challenged the ban in court. However, the drug was banned again in 2023 after a review by the Indian drug regulator found that it was still associated with serious side effects.
