The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has not yet barred the company from operations in India even as many of its medical products made for Indian use have also been found to be of substandard quality, often flagged by authorities.

Ever since Maiden Pharmaceuticals has come under the scanner of the World Health Organisation (WHO) after being flagged for the four cough syrups manufactured in India and exported to Gambia that led to the death of 66 children, it has come to light that the company has in the past flouted countless norms but was allowed to operate with impunity.

While the statements from the Indian government state that the four cough syrups found to have dangerously high levels of ethylene glycol and deithylene glycol that led to kidney injuries were only licensed by the state drug controller for export and sale in Gambia, the company has been flagged in many Indian states over the years for their medicines failing the quality and safety parameters.

FRAUDULENT TRACK RECORD

Previous reports suggest that the company has been a serial offender on quality control standards in the past as many state governments, and authorities have flagged it. Dinesh thakur, a public health activist based in St Petersburg has published a long Tweet thread on the matter and has also raised questions over the functioning of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) in India as well as the pre-qualification process of the WHO.
