 JSC “Grindeks” informs that World Health Organization (WHO) has included oxytocin solution for injection 10 IU/ml in the List of Prequalified Medicinal Products.

“Grindeks” oxytocin in the List of Prequalified Medicinal Products was included after 2 years of purposeful work and inspections of manufacturing sites. For the final dosage form (FDF) oxytocin to be prequalified, “Grindeks” had to receive WHO conclusions that the FDF meets several eligibility criteria. Company had to prepare product dossier with detailed information attesting to the quality, safety and efficacy of the product, and also had to demonstrate that the FDF is stable under climatic conditions prevailing in the country or countries in which the FDF is intended to be used. The stability-testing program and conditions had to correspond with WHO quality guidelines. All necessary tests were carried out for both the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) the medicine contains and the FDF. Mandatory prequalification related tests were carried out at the sites where the FDF is manufactured – “Grindeks” Group’s company “HBM Pharma” in Slovakia and “Satonika” in Lithuania. The API oxytocin is manufactured in Latvia.

JSC “Grindeks” Chairman of the Board Juris Bundulis: “Oxytocin inclusion in WHO medicine list gives us new opportunities in WHO organized international tenders for medicines and has once more acknowledged “Grindeks” ability to be competitive in global scale. We will be able to offer oxytocin in new markets, and that will enhance “Grindeks” recognition and representation in the international pharmaceutical market. This is an important milestone – an evidence of the high quality of our products and our team professionalism. “Grindeks” is constantly developing.”
