Mumbai, Mar 14 (IBNS) Pharmaceutical major Pfizer has stopped manufacture and sale of popular cough syrup Corex with immediate effect after a ban by the Government.

“This is to inform you that the Government of India has prohibited the manufacture for sale, sale and distribution of fixed dose combination of Chlopheniramine Maleate + Codeine Syrup with immediate effect,” Pfizer said in a BSE filing on Monday.

“In view of this, the company has discontinued the manufacture and sale of its drug Corex with immediate effect," it said.

Pfizer said it believed Corex had a "well-established efficacy and safety profile in India for more than 30 years," adding that the company was "exploring all possible options at its disposal."

Pfizer said the prohibition on Corex is likely to have an adverse impact on the revenue and profitability of the company.
