Abstract: We intend to examine the role of physicians behind the proliferation of irrational fixed-dose combination (FDC) medicines in India through both their prescription behavior and facilitating physician-firm-industry cartels in the sector. We intend to use panel data collected by IMS Health India. The data contains prescriptions written by 4600 physicians spanning 19 disciplinary categories for 96 months during 2008-2014 for 200 odd molecules in India's anti-infectives and antibiotics markets.
