Divi's Labs said it has already filed its detailed response to Form 483 observations of the US regulator.

New Delhi: Divi's Laboratories on Monday said it has filed a detailed response within the permitted time to the observations made by the US health regulator after inspection of the drug firm's manufacturing plant at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.

"The company has already filed its detailed response to the 'Form 483' observations of the USFDA (US Food and Drug Administration) within the time permitted," Divi's Laboratories said in a regulatory filing.

The site has 14 multi-purpose production blocks. The company manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for generics among others at the plant.
