Your firm failed to conduct at least one test to verify the identity of each component of a drug product (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1)).

Passage 2

Your firm failed to establish adequate written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products you manufacture have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess (21 CFR 211.100(a)).

Passage 3

Your firm failed to adequately validate the processes used to manufacture your OTC drug products. You have not performed process performance qualification (PPQ) studies, nor do you have an adequate ongoing program for monitoring process control to ensure stable manufacturing operations and consistent drug quality. Your firm also failed to validate your cleaning processes for non-dedicated equipment used to manufacture your OTC drug products.

Passage 4

Failure to address violations may also cause FDA to withhold issuance of Export Certificates. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to address any violations.
