Lupin gets another warning letter from USFDA

Moving on, the US health regulator has pulled up drug maker Lupin for manufacturing lapses, including failure to establish adequate written procedures for cleaning equipment, at its Maharashtra-based plant.

In a warning letter, the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has pointed out various lapses at the Tarapur (Thane) plant which produces active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).

This warning letter summarised significant deviations from current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).

The USFDA inspected the manufacturing facility from 22 March to 4 April 2022.

A warning letter is issued when the US health regulator finds that a manufacturer has significantly violated its regulations.

In the warning letter the health regulator pointed out the company's "failure to establish adequate written procedures for cleaning equipment and its release for use in manufacture of intermediates and API".

It also pointed out failure on the part of the plant management to establish written procedures to monitor the progress and control the performance of processing steps that may cause variability in the quality characteristics of intermediates and API.

The USFDA also said the plant administration failed to investigate all critical deviations.

If the company plans to resume manufacturing drugs for the US market, notify this office before resuming operations.

The warning letter issued by the USFDA usually identifies the violation, such as poor manufacturing practices, problems with claims for what a product can do, or incorrect directions for use.

The letter also makes clear that the company must correct the problem and provides directions and a timeframe of its plans for correction.

USFDA then checks to ensure that the company's corrections are adequate.

Owing to this and some other reasons, Lupin share price is falling and this news has only spurred another round of negative sentiment for Lupin.
