FDA inspectors have uncovered new and dangerous breakdowns in drugmaking at an Indian factory owned by Sun Pharma that produces generic medications for American consumers. 🔗 Read more: propub.li/4lyXX3t

Article excerpt: Workers improperly handled vials and stoppers meant for sterile medications and, in some cases, failed to disinfect manufacturing areas and equipment, according to the report. One FDA inspector saw a worker put on a sterile gown and then brush up against a waste bin and use their hands to push down the overflowing trash. Investigators also saw liquid dripping through ceiling cracks and the growth of what appeared to be fungus and mold in a storage area for samples used for testing.

And so it begins, the ripple effect of mass labour cuts.

Didn't they buy Ranbaxy? Or Ranbaxy became Sun Pharma? www.npr.org/sections/hea...

Daiichi Sankyo bought Ranbaxy (on the basis of fraudulent info). They closed it after the fraud was exposed, but the executives are now scattered throughout Indian pharma and the manufacturing plants were sold to the likes of Sun Pharma and Glenmark.

So yes, it is fair to see Sun Pharma as a continuation of the malfeasance at Ranbaxy. This is what happens when executives who orchestrate fraud don't go to jail.

This won't be a problem once all the inspectors have been fired.

I’d like to see the inspectors’ credentials before believing anything from the FDA now…

We also need inspection of our food products which Trump is cutting.

The Time is Now! @edumacated.bsky.social

They’re impugning the reputations of international generic pharmacies bc they want to start a drug industry in the US. THEN they’ll get rid of the inspectors.

And this is for drugs that require inspection. Supplements and "natural" remedies are deregulated so it is way worse. They don't require any quality control.

This is just the beginning of the backslide as watchdogs, regulatory agencies, and oversight are systematically dismantled. Consumers be damned.
