The examination of IndiaMART’s verification processes reveals significant issues with transparency and safety in the pharmaceutical sector. Notably, QP Pharmachem, a manufacturer of anabolic steroids and previously flagged for producing contaminated medications, remains a verified supplier. Companies like Matrix Biolabs and Evolve Biolabs claim WHO-GMP and ISO certifications without providing verifiable evidence. The neutral code system, crucial for tracking manufacturing origins, links these companies to QP Pharmachem, raising concerns about product quality and regulatory compliance. This article highlights the importance of thorough verification and regulatory oversight to protect consumers and maintain the integrity of the pharmaceutical industry.
In the Indian pharmaceutical industry, export products are marked with a “neutral code” or “special code” to keep the manufacturer’s identity confidential, complying with international regulatory requirements. This system supports India’s robust position in the global market by ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining confidentiality. Manufacturers must apply to the CDSCO with necessary documentation to obtain a neutral code, facilitating the export process. When multiple firms share the same neutral code, it indicates they use a common contract manufacturing facility, promoting streamlined regulatory compliance and business confidentiality. Products with a neutral code are intended exclusively for export, ensuring they do not enter the domestic market.
