Following the Central government's directives on Friday, a joint team of drug inspectors from the Centre and state government raided Aveo Pharmaceuticals, a Palghar-based company allegedly involved in exporting these drugs, the release stated.
Authorities seized all existing stock, prohibited further production, and initiated stringent legal action against the company, the FDA said.
The company has been served a show cause notice under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940, and officials have assured that all necessary legal measures will be taken without any delay, fear, or favour.
The Union government issued an advisory on Friday directing all state governments to withdraw export NOC (no objection certificate) for all unapproved combinations of Tapentadol and Carisoprodol and revoke manufacturing permissions for these drugs to prevent their misuse.
