US FDA Issues Form 483 with Four Observations to Natco Pharma's Visakhapatnam Unit
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) inspected Natco Pharma's finished dosage formulations (FDF) manufacturing plant in Visakhapatnam from August 17 to 21, 2026, issuing a Form 483 with four observations. Natco Pharma described these observations as procedural and expressed confidence in addressing them within the required timelines. The company also reported a decline in Q1 FY27 net profit and revenue compared to the previous year, partly due to lower cancer drug sales.
