Is Aurobindo Pharma’s quetiapine made in India?
Aurobindo is an India-based pharmaceutical company, and its quetiapine products sold by Indian and international markets are generally manufactured at Aurobindo’s manufacturing sites in India (or under contract at related facilities).
However, the exact manufacturing location can vary by product strength (e.g., quetiapine fumarate vs. quetiapine “IR/ER”), dosage form (tablet), and the specific brand the pharmacy dispenses.
How can I confirm the exact “made in India” manufacturer for my box?
To verify the manufacturing site for your specific Aurobindo quetiapine pack, check the box or blister for:
- Manufacturer name (often “Aurobindo Pharma” or a subsidiary/contract manufacturer)
- Address of the manufacturing unit
- “Manufactured by” / “Mfd. by” line and country
- Batch/LOT details (sometimes tied to a specific plant)
If you share the strength (e.g., 25 mg/100 mg/200 mg), whether it is immediate-release or extended-release, and any text shown under “manufactured by,” I can help you interpret what it indicates.
Does “Aurobindo quetiapine” always mean the same active ingredient and type?
Usually the active ingredient is quetiapine (often as a fumarate salt), but products can differ by:
- Release type (immediate-release vs extended-release)
- Salt form and equivalence to the branded product
- Formulation differences that affect how the pill is absorbed
These differences don’t change that it’s “quetiapine,” but they can change how it’s taken and how it’s labeled.
What if you meant a US/EU Aurobindo quetiapine—can it still be “made in India”?
Some global brands list the brand owner (like Aurobindo) while the finished dosage form may be produced in different countries depending on regulatory approvals, supply chain, and labeling rules. In those cases, the “made in” location comes from the packaging text, not the company name alone.
If you tell me the country where you bought it (or the exact label wording), I can guide you on what to look for.
Are there any patent/exclusivity issues for quetiapine that affect who sells it?
Quetiapine is an established medicine with generic availability. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks related patent timelines and filings for branded drug exclusivity and subsequent generic entry. You can use it to cross-check patent history for specific products/brands if you’re researching market availability. [1]
