Lupin gets 8 USFDA observations for Mandideep facility
Mumbai: Lupin has recently announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has concluded an inspection with eight observations each for product and raw material production centers at its Mandideep-based manufacturing facility.
An FDA Form 483 is issued to firm management at the conclusion of an inspection when an investigator(s) has observed any conditions that in their judgment may constitute violations of the Food Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act and related Acts.
The USFDA inspected Lupin's Mandideep Unit-1 facility from November 14, 2022 to November 23, 2022.
