In a missive late on Friday, the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers, Department of Pharmaceuticals, NPPA - Advisor (Costs) N I Chowdhury has ordered all pharma companies to comply with the revised norms with immediate and retrospective effect.
"Based on the Form-V furnished regarding voluntary reduction in MRP of Remdesivir, Manufacturers/Marketers of the Remdesivir are hereby directed to implement the revised MRP throughout the distribution chain wef 15.04.2021, irrespective of the batch numbers," the stern notification said.
