A Show Cause Notice was issued to the Manufacturer

DERABASSI: While heavily criticizing the manufacturer, the Punjab Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the license of Derabassi-based QP Pharmachem Ltd for manufacturing liquid oral and injectable formulations. Production at the tablet and capsule manufacturing unit has also been stopped and will remain suspended until the manufacturer complies with the norms.

Earlier, the manufacturing of all liquid formulations at the unit was temporarily stopped and a show cause notice was issued to the manufacturer. The WHO issued an alert after 18,000 bottles of cough syrup exported to Cambodia by QP Pharmachem Ltd were found to be contaminated.
