Substandard Drugs Flagged Across Multiple States, Over 130 Batches Fail Quality Tests In April

New Delhi: The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has flagged 136 batches of pharmaceutical products as Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) in its April 2025 alert, based on reports submitted by multiple state drug control laboratories across India.
The alert was compiled from test results submitted by state drug testing labs in Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Punjab, Delhi, Maharashtra, and others. As per CDSCO, such monthly alerts are part of the continuous regulatory surveillance, wherein, Drugs /Cosmetics/Medical Devices samples are picked from sales/distribution point, analyzed and list of Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) drugs is displayed on CDSCO portal on monthly basis.
The list for the month of April includes common formulations such as paracetamol, antibiotics like amoxicillin and cefixime, antihypertensives such as telmisartan, and dermatological products including ketoconazole soap and face washes. Several veterinary formulations were also flagged, with repeated violations by manufacturers of albendazole and ivermectin-based bolus.
Among the most frequent issues cited were, Dissolution test failures, particularly in batches of paracetamol, telmisartan, and albendazole tablets; Assay failures involving incorrect active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) content in drugs such as amoxicillin and gabapentin-based products; Sterility failures in injectables including sodium chloride and gentamicin; Labeling and misbranding violations under Rule 127(2) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, where some products failed to mention the common name of added colors or the “IP” designation for official monographs.
For example, Ambroxol Hydrochloride Syrup manufactured by Syndicate Pharma, was deemed misbranded as the product label did not indicate the specific name of the color used, violating Rule 127(2). Similarly, Lulimark Cream by Forever Lifescience Pvt. Ltd. failed to mention “IP” on its label, despite being an official monograph drug in the Indian Pharmacopoeia.
Veterinary drugs came under the scanner as well, with multiple batches of Oxfendazole & Ivermectin Bolus (marketed as “WELLMOX-1”) manufactured by Argon Remedies Pvt. Ltd. being flagged for containing significantly lower levels of Ivermectin than claimed on the label.
