Clarification about “Seredon” and Banned Status

From available medical and pharmacy references (including Indian online pharmacies and drug databases), there is no commonly listed medicine or tablet in India called “Seredon”. Because of this, I cannot confirm that a drug with this exact brand name is officially “banned”; it is more likely that:

• The name is misspelled or slightly incorrect (for example, some people confuse Saridon with similar spellings).
• “Seredon” may be a non‑medical brand, company, or something unrelated to medicines.
• It could be a very local/rare brand name not widely documented online.

Possibility of Confusion with “Saridon”

If you actually meant Saridon (a headache/pain tablet containing paracetamol, propyphenazone and caffeine), its legal status in India has been complex:

• In September 2018, the Indian government banned 328 fixed-dose combination (FDC) medicines, and Saridon’s combination (paracetamol + propyphenazone + caffeine) was initially included in this banned list. (indianexpress.com)
• Shortly afterwards, the Supreme Court of India allowed the sale of Saridon again (exempted it from the ban), so it returned to the market. (businesstoday.in)

So, if your question was actually about Saridon, it is not currently treated as a banned drug in India, although it had been included in an earlier banned list before the court exemption.

What You Can Do Next

• Please check the exact spelling on the strip/blister or pack (and, if possible, the active ingredient names) and send that, so I can give more precise general information.
• You can also ask a nearby licensed pharmacist in Mumbai to:

  • Confirm whether the product name is correct, and
  • Check if that exact brand/combination is currently allowed for sale under Indian regulations.

• Before taking any medicine, always confirm that:

  • It is prescribed or recommended by a qualified doctor, and
  • It is approved and not on the current list of banned formulations in India.
