Check the Manufacturer Before Linking a Medicine to a Brand
Pharmaceutical brand pages should distinguish the manufacturer from the medicine name printed on a product listing.
Manufacturer details matter
A medicine should only be described as a Sun Pharmaceutical product when reliable manufacturer information supports that association. Packaging appearance or the country of origin alone should not be used to assign a medicine to a pharmaceutical manufacturer.
People, Technology and Controlled Processes
Pharmaceutical production relies on trained personnel, manufacturing equipment, documented processes and quality systems working together.
The Sun Pharma group operates across a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, injectable medicines, liquids, creams and other specialised formulations.
Its manufacturing network is supported by pharmaceutical development, analytical capabilities and quality systems designed around regulated production.
- Trained pharmaceutical personnel
- Controlled manufacturing processes
- Pharmaceutical formulation technology
- Analytical development capabilities
- Quality-focused manufacturing systems
Packaging Alone Does Not Confirm a Medicine's Manufacturer
Brand names, boxes, blister strips and tablets should not be used on their own to determine whether a medicine is genuine or who manufactured it.
Counterfeit and incorrectly labelled medicines can imitate established pharmaceutical branding. Manufacturer information, traceability, batch details, expiry information and professional pharmacy checks are more meaningful than appearance alone.
- Check the exact medicine name
- Check the active ingredient
- Check the stated manufacturer
- Check batch and expiry information
- Review supplied medicine information
- Ask a pharmacist if anything appears unusual
