New Delhi: In its latest drug safety alert, the apex drug regulatory body, the Central Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has flagged 58 medicine batches for failing to qualify for a random sample test for February 2023, while 2 drug samples have been declared as suprious.
These drugs include Acepik - P (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol Tablets) manufactured by Nexkem Biotech, Amoxycillin Oral Suspension I.P. (Medmoxil 125) manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceuticals, Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3 Tablets IP (Calcigiant 500 Tablets) manufactured by Nutra Life Healthcare, Ofloxacin manufactured by Concept Pharmaceutical, Calcium and Vitamin D3 Tablets manufactured by Hanuchem Laboratories, Serratiopeptidase Tablets manufactured by Arnav Research Laboratories.
Furthermore, the list contains, Paracetamol Tablets IP 500 mg (Pyricool 500) manufactured by Alkem Health Science, a unit of Alkem Laboratories Limited, Deferasirox manufactured by Glenmark Lifesciences, Miconazole Nitrate and Fluocinolone Acetonide Ointment (Zole - F) manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals and others.
In addition to the above, Telmisartan Tablets 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets IP (Telma AM) belonging batch no 05230355 and Telmisartan Tablets I.P. 40 mg (Telma 40), belonging batch no I8220890 are declared spurious as the actual manufacturer, Glenmark Pharmaceutical (as per label claim) has informed that the impugned batches of the products have not been manufactured by them and that it is a spurious drug.
"Thus, the products are purported to be spurious, however, the same is subject to outcome of further investigation." the actual manufacturer, Glenmark Pharmaceutical added.
The list came after analysis and tests were conducted by the CDSCO, Drugs Control Departments on 1167 samples. Out of this, 1018 samples were found of standard quality while 58 were declared Not of Standard Quality (NSQ).
A few reasons why the drug samples tested failed were the failure of the assay, failure of the dissolution test, failure of the disintegration test, failure of Uniformity of Dispersion, and the presence of water content and particulate matter etc.
The samples collected were tested in CDL Kolkata, CDTL Hyderabad, CDTL Mumbai, RDTL Chandigarh and RDTL Guwahati.
