New Delhi: Through a recent notice, National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has fixed the retail prices of the fixed dose combinations (FDCs) involving 2 molecules Linagliptin and Sitagliptin and their combination with metformin. The two drugs in question are soon going to become off-patent in July and the price authority has been quick to respond to fix their combination with the other popular drug metformin that is already under price control.

The  price fixation comes under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013 based on the decision of the 96th and 97th Authority meetings.

Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used to manage hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent and first-line pharmacotherapy used in the management of type II diabetes.

Sitagliptin is an oral dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent and first-line pharmacotherapy used in the management of type II diabetes.

The retail prices of various companies have been fixed in the authority meeting by the NPPA, a few of them include: 

The retail price of Optimus Pharma and Natco Pharma's Linagliptin 2.5mg and Metformin Hydrochloride IP 500mg tablet has been fixed at Rs 8.04.

The retail price of MSN Laboratories and Emcure Pharma's Linagliptin 2.5mg and Metformin Hydrochloride IP 500mg tablet has been fixed at Rs 14.65.

The retail price of Alkem Healthsciences and Alkem Laboratories Limited's Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate IP 64.25mg is eq. to Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride IP 1000mg has been fixed at Rs 20.02.

The retail price of Zydus Healthcare's Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate IP eq. to Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride IP 500mg has been fixed at Rs 18.34.
