"Recently, the company's manufacturing facility underwent an inspection by the USFDA... Subsequently, the USFDA issued Form 483 citing three observations," Lupin Ltd had said in a regulatory filing on Friday.

The company is in the midst of putting together a response to address the said observations, it added.

As per the USFDA, observations are made in Form 483 when investigators feel that conditions or practices in the facility are such that products may become adulterated or render injuries to health.

The FDA Form 483 notifies the company's management of objectionable conditions.
