Shilpa Medicare gets EIR from USFDA for Raichur facilities

New Delhi : Shilpa Medicare said the US health regulator has issued an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) for its manufacturing facilities located at Raichur in Karnataka.

USFDA releases a copy of the EIR to the establishment that was the subject of an FDA or FDA-contracted inspection when the agency determines the inspection to be closed.

It further said: "The company had submitted a detailed corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plan to the regulator within the stipulated timelines in response to the form 483 issued at the end of inspection. The USFDA has reviewed the CAPA and has found them acceptable".

Form 483 is issued when an investigator observes any possible violation of the laid-down rules.
