MUMBAI, March 14 (Reuters) - An Indian court on Monday 
granted U.S. pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer Inc's  PFE.N  
 PFIZ.NS  India unit a stay on a government ban on its popular 
cough syrup Corex, local television channels reported. 
    The ban on Pfizer's cough syrup was part of a wider notice 
issued by the government over the weekend ordering prohibition 
of the sale and manufacture of 344 combination drugs that a 
panel of experts found posed a risk to humans.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL3N16M1SX
