The government is working to keep trading margins reasonable on heavily used drugs so that their prices can be brought down. People with knowledge about this say that the same can be done for medicines costing Rs 100 or more. Sources say that in the first phase of bringing trading margins within reasonable limits, those drugs which are outside the purview of price control may also be included.

A person who was part of the participants' meeting with government departments this week said, "The reason is that the medicines which are included in the national list of essential medicines already have a ceiling price. Companies may hardly be able to offer arbitrary trading margins in such products as there is no scope for higher margins due to competitive prices.
