The FDA reviewed Mylan's office in Pashamylaram, India, in February. The office found the plant, which makes dynamic elements for drugs, hadn't played it safe to guarantee solvents it utilized didn't contain polluting influences, including neglecting to enough test the crude materials.

Solvents help in joining fixings in the medication making measure.

Mylan has had comparable infringement concerning solvents at another office in India that the FDA cautioned the organization about in November. The "helpless control" of solvents prompted sullying, as per the letter. The FDA redacted which medications were sullied.

These rehashed disappointments at various locales producing API show that your organization's oversight and command over the assembling of medications is lacking," Francis Godwin, head of the FDA's Office of Manufacturing Quality, wrote in the letter.
