Dang @Novartis, 9 #FDA 483s Since 2009!? You Should Get With @fdazilla

I was reading this FiercePharmaManufacturing's Article on Novartis' CEO under a Regulatory Cloud.

So I got to thinking... how many FDA 483s are these guys getting?

It turns out, Novartis - across all their businesses has gotten at least nine 483s since 2009.

• 17 observations made at the Liverpool UK site in 2011
• 14 observations at the Emeryville site in 2010
• 8 observations at the Vacaville site in 2011 after 5 observations from 2009
• 5 observations at Suffern NY in 2010 after 4 observations from 2009
• 1 observation at Brea in 2011
• 13 observations issued in 2011 after 2 observations at Lincoln, NE in 2010 

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Learn from the mistakes of others.  You can't live long enough to make them all yourself."

Fierce is doing a good job tracking Novartis' quality problems. I'm just letting you know how to get your hands on their 483s.
