Hindustan Antibiotics stops saline bottle production

The move follows the directives from the Food and Drug Administration.

HA personnel manager T Das was quoted by The Indian Express as saying that HA stalled the production after receiving a notice from FDA to do so till the issue is resolved.

FDA senior officials said, "Prima facie it looks like a labelling error, but we want HA to wait till the laboratory report is available."

The closure of saline bottle production has resulted in shifting 40 employees to other sections.
