USFDA Bengaluru:  Biocon, the innovative biopharmaceuticals company, declared that the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has raised four observations after holding an inspection of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) facility in Bengaluru. The scheduled routine surveillance inspection was conducted at the company's Site 2 between September 23 and September 27, 2024.

The company filed to the regulatory body, which depicts the result of the inspection. The USFDA has made four observations to which the company is expected to respond. Biocon has explained that though the nature of observations by USFDA is confidential it had assured the firm to close the same before the time as stipulated by the regulatory body.

The company insisted that it did not anticipate the findings of the inspection affecting its business adversely. There has always been evidence that Biocon navigates regulatory challenges and reassures stakeholders that they remain fixated on maintaining all necessary regulatory standards.
