JHP Pharmaceuticals, LLC – FDA 483, Mar 29, 2012

This FDA Form 483 details multiple observations from an inspection. The facility manufactures various injectable drug products, including Pitocin, Coly-Mycin M, Thrombin, Dantrium, Ketalar, Brevital, and Tigan.

Key violations include: 1. **Inadequate Investigation Records:** Investigations into unexplained discrepancies, such as incorrect storage conditions on Pitocin labels (Pitocin 10 mL lots 225867 and 231423), did not fully address sterility assurance for distributed vials.
