Penicillins and cephalosporins, kept apart

Dedicated, segregated units for both beta-lactam classes, in oral and sterile forms, across three manufacturing sites.

Why segregation decides your partner

Even trace amounts of a beta-lactam can cause serious allergic reactions in sensitive patients. That's why regulators expect these antibiotics to be made in dedicated facilities, away from everything else.

Patient safety

Dedicated units remove the risk of penicillin or cephalosporin traces reaching other medicines.

Regulatory acceptance

Segregated manufacturing is a core expectation in GMP inspections for beta-lactam products.

One partner, both classes

Penicillins and cephalosporins, oral and injectable, without managing several suppliers.

What we make, and where

Each beta-lactam class has its own dedicated units. Here's every format we make for each, and the locations that make it.

ANVISA approved

The Haridwar sterile site is approved by Brazil's health regulator ANVISA, plus regulators across Africa and Asia.

Oral and sterile in one site

Our Roorkee site makes cephalosporin dry powder injections alongside oral penicillin and cephalosporin formats.

Three sites, six dedicated units

Your antibiotic isn't tied to one site

Beta-lactam capacity is hard to find and slow to build. Spreading it across sites protects your supply.

Haridwar, Roorkee and Kotdwar in Uttarakhand.

Penicillin dry syrups and low-RH tablets in two sites

Roorkee and Kotdwar both run dedicated oral penicillin units.

Cephalosporin injections in two sites

Dry powder injections are made in Haridwar and Roorkee.

One central stability centre

A dedicated stability facility supports products from every site.
