The Dholka manufacturing facility passed the US FDA audit with nil 483 observations, which signifies compliance and conformance to applicable Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations enforced by the US FDA. US FDA Inspector Vivin George conducted the facility’s audit from April 3 to 7.

In all our facilities, quality control is inbuilt at every step in the design and manufacturing process. The successful completion of the US FDA audit is a strong validation of our commitment to ensure the availability of medicines that meet the most stringent global quality standards. I also take this opportunity to congratulate our team at the Dholka facility,” said Dr Rajiv I Modi, CMD, Cadila Pharmaceuticals.
