Ranbaxy plummets

September 20, 2013

THE US FDA has issued a warning about drugs made at Ranbaxy’s factory in Mohali, India, with the move seeing shares in the company dive 35%. Under the FDA “import alert,” US border officials may detain any products originating at the plant, with the organisation saying Ranbaxy would remain on the banned list until it complies with Good Manufacturing Practices. Other Ranbaxy facilities in Dewas and Paonta Sahib have been on FDA import alert since 2008. The latest move follows inspections which identified significant GMP violations at Mohali, with some reports saying a tablet was found to contain an “embedded black fibre that could have been a hair from an employee’s arm”. Ranbaxy said it would review the alert and “take all necessary steps to resolve the concerns”.
