Hospira, a generic injectables firm is ready to operate its manufacturing plant in Vishakapatnam-for speciality injections. The decision comes in the wake of an approval from the US Food and Drug Administration post site inspection by the authority. Hospira is stated to have made an investment of $375-450 million to set up the plant.
The US regulator, in the meanwhile, has issued a Form 483, bringing into the notice of the company management of certain objectionable conditions, which has been observed during the site inspection.
