FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mumbai, August 28, 2012: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. announced that subsequent to inspections earlier this year and corrective action on 483's, USFDA has determined Caraco to be in compliance with relevant paragraphs of the Consent Decree.
Therefore, USFDA has notified that Caraco may resume operations at its manufacturing facility and packaging sites in Detriot and Wixom, Michigan.
During their inspection, the USFDA reviewed the certification reports for production of Carvedilol USP as well as Paramomycin USP, and subsequently reviewed corrective actions on 483's. Currently, Caraco may resume
products of only these two products.
Manufacturing of other products from these sites, including those pending approval with the USFDA, will be subject to similar rigorous approval procedure. As a result, the increase in production at these sites and resultant
revenue contribution is expected to be gradual.
