Explanation.
(1)Any dosage form of a medicine, other than the dosage form included in this Schedule, but in same strength and route of administration, which does not have significant difference in terms of pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics or efficacy-safety profile over the dosage form mentioned in the list shall be considered as included. To elaborate, if a tablet is included, other dosage forms like conventional tablets and capsules are considered as included. However, such different dosage forms should be considered differently for purposes such as procurement policy, pricing, etc. This principle also applies to all other dosage forms e.g. oral liquid dosage forms, injectables, topical dosage forms, etc.
(2)Innovation in medicine must be encouraged. The formulations developed through incremental innovation or novel drug delivery systems like lipid/liposomal formulations, sustained release/controlled release etc. should be considered as included only if specified in the list against any medicine. Such different formulations should be considered differently for purposes such as procurement policy, pricing, etc.
(3)In cases, where vaccines or immunoglobulins or sera are listed in this Schedule, irrespective of variation in source, composition and strength, all the products of the same vaccines or immunoglobulins or sera as approved by the licensing authority are considered included.
(4)In general, medicines have been mentioned with respect to their active moieties, without mentioning the salts and, in cases where there is significant difference between the salts, the medicine finds mention as its specific salt.
(5)In cases where an active moiety is available as different isomers or analogues or derivatives, they are considered as separate entities, and inclusion of one does not imply inclusion of all isomers or analogues or derivatives.
(6)For injectable preparations, the pack size (single and multi-dose packs) has not been mentioned. It is suggested that the single and multi-dose pack sizes be considered as separate entities for purposes such as procurement/ pricing etc.
