Maharashtra FDA Cracks Down on Ayurvedic Drug Makers: 10 Licences Cancelled<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statewide crackdown, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched a massive drive to inspect Ayurvedic drug manufacturing establishments across the state. The move comes after a series of inspections found serious violations of prescribed manufacturing and quality-control standards at several establishments.<\/p>\n

A Statewide Inspection Drive<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FDA inspected 434 licensed Ayurvedic drug manufacturing establishments across Maharashtra as part of a statewide inspection drive to assess compliance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, and Schedule T, which lays down Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements for Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani medicines. The inspections were conducted to ensure that Ayurvedic medicines manufactured in Maharashtra meet the required standards and that lapses affecting public health are dealt with firmly.<\/p>\n

Serious Violations Found<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the inspections, the FDA found serious violations at several establishments, including the absence of qualified or approved technical personnel, manufacturing being carried out without competent technical staff, non-functional quality-control departments, and lack of machinery and equipment required for manufacturing and testing. The FDA also found cases involving unhygienic manufacturing premises, missing or discrepant batch production records, and raw-material records, incorrect manufacturing dates on product labels, and the absence of testing records or proper arrangements for testing raw materials and finished products.<\/p>\n

Licences Cancelled<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the most serious cases, the FDA has permanently cancelled the manufacturing licences of 10 Ayurvedic drug manufacturers after finding major violations that could affect the quality, safety, and efficacy of medicines and pose a public health concern. The FDA Commissioner, Tukaram Mundhe, said that Ayurvedic medicines must be manufactured strictly according to prescribed standards, and manufacturers of classical Ayurvedic medicines must follow recognised reference texts, while patent and proprietary medicines must meet specified quality-control standards.<\/p>\n

A Warning to Manufacturers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FDA has warned Ayurvedic manufacturers that strict action will be taken against establishments that fail to comply with Schedule T Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements. The statewide inspection drive is aimed at ensuring that Ayurvedic medicines manufactured in Maharashtra meet the required standards and that lapses affecting public health are dealt with firmly. The FDA has directed 135 manufacturers to explain the violations detected during inspections and comply with the prescribed requirements.<\/p>\n

A Commitment to Public Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Maharashtra FDA’s crackdown on Ayurvedic drug makers is a significant step towards ensuring the quality and safety of Ayurvedic medicines in the state. The FDA’s commitment to public health is evident in its efforts to ensure that Ayurvedic medicines meet the required standards and that lapses affecting public health are dealt with firmly. The statewide inspection drive is a necessary measure to prevent the manufacture of substandard Ayurvedic medicines, which can pose a risk to public health.<\/p>\n

A Call for Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FDA’s crackdown on Ayurvedic drug makers is a wake-up call for manufacturers to comply with the prescribed standards and regulations. The FDA has made it clear that it will not tolerate any violations of GMP requirements, and manufacturers who fail to comply will face strict action. The FDA’s commitment to public health and its efforts to ensure the quality and safety of Ayurvedic medicines are a testament to its dedication to protecting the health and well-being of citizens in Maharashtra.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
