The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered the federal government to fix the price of Panadol within a month.
The SHC heard the case filed by the Panadol manufacturing company that moved the court over the government’s non-compliance with the court’s earlier orders about raising Panadol’s price.
During the proceedings, the officials of the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) apprised the court that the federal government’s nod was needed to raise the price of medicines.
The SHC then ordered the federal government to decide the pricing of the medication at the next cabinet meeting and provide a report to the court regarding its decision.
