Sanofi India has reportedly recalled several batches of its painkiller and combination drug Combiflam from shelves after the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) found the product to be of sub-standard. DCGI had issued safety alert first in February, and again in April, after some batches of Combiflam were found not of standard quality due to delayed disintegration of the molecule in the blood stream. The tablets were manufactured at Sanofi’s factory in Ankleshwar, Gujarat.
