Sept. 1, 2020 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Warning Letter to Mylan’s API manufacturer, Mylan Laboratories Limited – Unit 7, in which no interruption in manufacturing and distribution is anticipated at the site, no significant commercial impact is expected and no significant launches are planned for Unit 7 in 2020.

The concerns cited by the agency were based on an inspection conducted from February 24 to 28, 2020, which placed a primary focus on nitrosamine or any similar impurities. Since last fall, as have others in the industry, we have worked closely with FDA to thoroughly investigate all potential risks associated with inquiries related to nitrosamine impurities. As noted in the Warning Letter, several months prior to the inspection, we put additional controls, corrective actions and improvements in place at the Unit 7 facility to mitigate any perceived risk of product contamination with patient safety as our primary focus. Importantly, extensive testing of APIs manufactured and distributed by the site was performed for the presence of nitrosamine impurities and no evidence of cross contamination was identified.

Mylan’s response to the letter will be submitted within the required time period of 15 working days.

Mylan is committed to maintaining the highest quality manufacturing standards at all of its facilities around the world. We have an industry-leading track record in global quality management, and we take very seriously our continued and comprehensive oversight of Mylan's entire manufacturing network.
