Production halted at Enaleni's Durban plant

8 July 2007

South Africa's Enaleni Pharmaceuticals has been ordered to stop production at its plant in Durban. The Medicines Control Council took the action after manufacturing standards were not being met.

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company is a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of an extensive range of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs. On the day of the news, July 3, shares in the firm fell 3.9% to 3.7 rand. According to a report in Business Day, the closure is unlikely to affect patients as the volume of drugs that Enaleni manufactures in Durban is not that signifcant.
