Why is Dorixina Forte not used in the USA?
Dorixina Forte is not used in the USA because it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA requires comprehensive clinical trials to demonstrate a drug’s safety and efficacy before it can be marketed in the United States. Clonixin, the active ingredient in Dorixina Forte, may not have undergone such evaluation to the satisfaction of the FDA.
