CDSCO drug alerts: March 2026

The drug alert for March 2026 lists 191 batches that failed testing: 190 declared Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) and 1 declared spurious. 49 were reported by central laboratories and 142 by state drug regulators.

An alert covers the batch named, from the manufacturer named — not every batch of that medicine, and not other makers. If you hold a listed batch, stop selling it and contact your supplier. What NSQ and spurious mean, and what to do.
