What is a Form 483?
A Form 483 is an official document issued by the USFDA to a pharmaceutical company following an inspection.
This document outlines observations made by the USFDA that may indicate potential violations of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations.
These observations do not necessarily imply a final determination of non-compliance, but they do require the company to address them within a specific timeframe.
DR Reddy’s Response to the Form 483
Dr. Reddy’s has acknowledged receipt of the Form 483 and has expressed its commitment to addressing the identified observations within the stipulated timeframe.
The company has not disclosed the specific nature of the observations, but it is likely that they relate to deviations from established GMP procedures.
Previous USFDA Inspection at Dr. Reddy’s Facilities
It’s important to note that this is not the first time Dr. Reddy’s has received a Form 483 from the USFDA in recent months.
In May 2024, the USFDA issued a Form 483 with two observations following an inspection of Dr. Reddy’s formulations manufacturing facilities (FTO-7 & FTO-9) located in Duvvada, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Impact on Dr. Reddy’s
The impact of the Form 483 on Dr. Reddy’s is yet to be determined.

However, the long-term impact will depend on the severity of the observations and Dr. Reddy’s ability to address them effectively.
