US FDA Classifies Aurobindo Pharma's Raleigh Plant as Voluntary Action Indicated
Aurobindo Pharma's Raleigh manufacturing plant in North Carolina, operated by its subsidiary Aurolife Pharma LLC, underwent a US FDA inspection from March 24 to April 10, 2025. The FDA issued a Form 483 with 11 observations but classified the facility as 'Voluntary Action Indicated' (VAI), indicating objectionable conditions without recommending regulatory action. The inspection is now closed, allowing pending applications for inhalers and other products from this plant to proceed through the FDA review process.
