Currently Ohm Laboratories plant is the only one from which Ranbaxy continues supplying drugs to the US market as drugs manufactured in its other facilities at Paonta Sahib, Dewas and Mohali in India have been banned on account of non compliance of current good manufacturing practise (CGMP).
Acquired by Ranbaxy in 1995, Ohm Laboratories manufactures prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in solid dose forms (capsules and tablets) and is US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) approved to manufacture controlled substances.
