FDA Takes Action Against Teva Animal Health Inc.
Company fails to adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a consent decree of
permanent injunction filed today, that prohibits Teva Animal Health Inc.,
its president, and two principals from its parent company, from
manufacturing and distributing adulterated veterinary drugs. The injunction,
once entered by the court, will prevent the defendants from manufacturing
and distributing veterinary drugs until they achieve compliance with current
Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) and obtain FDA approval.

"Good manufacturing practice standards are the backbone of product quality
and the instrument on which the FDA relies most heavily for assurance that
veterinary drug products are safe and effective," said Bernadette Dunham,
D.V.M., Ph.D., director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. 

During inspections between 2007 and 2009, the FDA found significant cGMP
violations at Teva Animal Health's facilities, located in St. Joseph, Mo. 

Under the terms of the consent decree, Teva Animal Health cannot resume
manufacturing and distributing veterinary drugs until adequate methods,
facilities, and controls are established and an independent expert inspects
the facilities and procedures and certifies that they comply with cGMP.

Has anyone heard any negative reports about this arthritis medicine? Charlie
Brown has been on it for going on two years since the vet took him off the
Glycoflex because his arthritis in his front legs were getting worse. I've
seen positive changes since he was put on this, but I've heard of where
there was a FDA recall at one time on the Synovi G3 but I can't find
anything on it. Thanks.
