A pair of drugmakers in India that the U.S. is counting on to produce generic blood-pressure pills after a far-reaching recall have been faulted by regulators for quality-control issues.
Cadila Healthcare Ltd. and Alkem Laboratories Ltd. both won approvals in March from the Food and Drug Administration to make generic versions of valsartan for the U.S. market. Neither company made any of the recalled valsartan, but both companies have recently been cited by agency inspectors for quality-control failures that echo problems at other drugmakers renewing questions about the safety of some of the world’s most widely prescribed medicines.
