Not after "several years of debate.." . After allowing time for the drug companies to recoup the investments. Do you think that inspite of many developed countries like US, Britain, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other 168 countries had already banned these drugs, India needed a 'debate'?.

With the drug control authority in developed countries being what they are, how come these drugs were approved in the first place? Most probably, these drugs were coming off their proprietary period, when they could be freely produced by anybody, hence the need for banning them.

The drug nimesulide was used as substitute for very commonly used paracetamol for fever ,usually doctors used this drug in childerens and it is considered far safer than paracetamol ,likewise cisapride was used mostly in childerens for constipation and phenylpropanolamine [PPA]is used commonly for flue symptoms. If it was known for 10 years that these drugs are banned in several countries ,why we took so much time to ban them?. At last we have banned them,but what about the several side effects it has caused the innocent childerens and elders ,unknowingly and blindly trusting doctors our society has used these drugs .It is a fact that all drugs in allopathy have side effects ,if the adverse effects of drugs are more than its benefits then those drugs are banned.
In my view we all must stop using allopathy medicines and shift towords ancient indian medicines in form of Ayurveda or Unani Or Homeopathy,Naturopathy etc. These medicines are produced through plants unlike Allopathy medicines which are made up from chemicals.Chemicals are bound to have side effects. SO we must use only natural medicines.

there are lots of several drugs which are yet to ban, which are already banned in developed nations and do not recommend by WHO. Thanks to our certain politicians and certain pharma companies. See this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grKP2iQNQmc and feature=related
