FDA Import Ban – Injectables

August 25, 2015

The FDA has banned imports from Emcure Pharmaceuticals’ (the parent company of Heritage Pharmaceuticals) Hinjawadi plant located in Maharashtra, India.

The OneStop Program Team is working diligently to ensure there is minimal disruption to your business by adding alternative items to the OneStop portfolio as detailed below.
