Granules India's Unit V in Visakhapatnam passes U.S. FDA inspection with zero observations, meeting high-quality standards.
Drugmaker Granules India’s Unit V manufacturing facility in Visakhapatnam has completed an U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspection.
It was a pre-approval inspection (PAI) and cGMP audit for APIs and formulations for oncology and non-oncology products. The unit successfully completed the U.S. FDA inspection, conducted from April 8-12, resulting in zero Form 483 observations, the company said. “Proud to reiterate that our focus on high-quality standards is comparable to the best global benchmarks as we receive zero observations from U.S. FDA audit,” CMD Krishna Prasad Chigurupati said in a release on Saturday.
According to the company, the technology, protected by multiple international patents, facilitates the creation of a plastic-to-plastic circular economy, where commonly used plastics such as polyolefin packaging no longer need to be down-cycled, incinerated or landfilled at the end of their life. Instead, they can be continuously recycled in a closed-loop, without any loss of quality.
