Several Injectables were also found particulate matter eg Diclofenac Sod Inj IP 75 mg 3ml of Hindustan Antibiotics Ltd, Faridabad; Amikef-500-2ml( Amikacin Sulphate Inj IP) of Lupin Ltd, Vapi; Amikacin Sulphate Inj IP 500 mg/2 ml of Karnataka Antibiotics Ltd, Bengaluru; Sangenta Inj (Gentamicin Inj IP, 30 ml) of Jpee Drugs, SIDCUL, Haridwar; Sandexa Inj 30 ml (Dexamethasone Sod Phosphate Inj IP 2 mg/ml) of Jpee Drugs, SIDCUL, Haridwar; and Maxobal Inj  (Methylcobalamin, Pyridoxine HCl and Nicotinamide Inj ) of Havik Pharma, Sansarpur (HP)

One sample of Remdesivir for Inj 100 mg/vial (Covipri Inj) Purported to be manufacturerd by Pristine life Sciences, Sikkim also failed in Identification of Remdesivir, Particulate matter and Sterlity; which shows the sample to be spurious.

Two Samples  of Coldbest-PC Syrup manufactured by Digital Vision, Kala-Amb were found adulterated with Diethylene Glycol (DEG), which is contaminant in consumer products; this has resulted in numerous epidemics of poisoning since the early 20th century.

It cannot be ruled out that an ophthalmic drop does not fail in particulate matter. Their opaque packing does not allow, analyst and public to check their contamination.
