Friends,
There are two options of Metoclopramide for purchase.
1) Made by Ipca Pharmaceuticals, India. Sold under brandname Perinorm.
2) Made by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Israel. Sold under brandname Actavis 10.
(Images of the retail boxes attached)
Both companies are around for a long time (Teva from 1935 and Ipca from 1949). Both are listed companies and have thousands of employees.
But FDA seem to have multiple issues with some plants/subsidiaries and issued warning letters/advisory against.
Example (found many for both companies)

www.fiercepharma.com
I dont know if this is serious thing or routine
Between Ipca and Teva which is more reliable pharmaceutical company for Meto?
thanks.
