Regulatory Landscape — Valsartan

Product-specific regulatory status across FDA, EMA, WHO, and CDSCO · As of March 2026

1FDA & US Market Regulatory Status

In the United States, valsartan is approved through Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs), as listed in the FDA's Orange Book. The FDA has granted numerous ANDAs for valsartan, indicating a competitive generic market. Notably, in March 2024, the FDA approved ANDA 213748 for Sacubitril and Valsartan Tablets, submitted by MSN Pharmaceuticals Inc., a U.S. agent for India's MSN Laboratories Private Limited. This approval underscores the active participation of Indian manufacturers in the U.S. pharmaceutical market.

The substantial number of Indian exporters (259) reflects a robust supply chain catering to the U.S. demand for valsartan. However, manufacturers must adhere to stringent FDA regulations, including compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and prompt reporting of any adverse events or quality issues.

2EU & UK Regulatory Framework

In the European Union, valsartan-containing medicines require marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). For instance, Exforge, a combination of amlodipine and valsartan, received EU-wide approval on January 17, 2007. (ema.europa.eu) Similarly, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) oversees the authorization of valsartan products within the UK.

Manufacturers exporting to the EU and UK must comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, ensuring product quality and safety. Notably, in September 2018, an EU inspection found Zhejiang Huahai's site in China non-compliant with GMP in the manufacture of valsartan, leading to the suspension of its certificate of compliance. (ema.europa.eu) This incident highlights the critical importance of maintaining GMP compliance to avoid market disruptions.

3WHO Essential Medicines & Global Standards

Valsartan is included in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Model List of Essential Medicines, underscoring its significance in global health. The WHO Prequalification Programme also evaluates valsartan products to ensure they meet international quality standards, facilitating their procurement by UN agencies and other organizations.

Pharmacopoeial standards for valsartan are established in major compendia, including the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP). Compliance with these standards is essential for market acceptance and regulatory approval across different regions.

4India Regulatory Classification

In India, valsartan is classified under Schedule H of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, indicating that it is a prescription-only medication. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) regulates the pricing of essential medicines, including valsartan, to ensure affordability. Manufacturers intending to export valsartan must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), ensuring compliance with export regulations.

5Patent & Exclusivity Status

The primary patents for valsartan have expired, leading to increased generic competition globally. This has resulted in a more competitive market landscape, with multiple manufacturers producing and exporting valsartan, particularly from countries like India.

6Recent Industry Developments

In March 2024, the FDA approved ANDA 213748 for Sacubitril and Valsartan Tablets, submitted by MSN Pharmaceuticals Inc., highlighting the ongoing entry of Indian manufacturers into the U.S. market.

In September 2018, an EU inspection found Zhejiang Huahai's site in China non-compliant with GMP in the manufacture of valsartan, leading to the suspension of its certificate of compliance. (ema.europa.eu)

These developments underscore the dynamic nature of the valsartan market, influenced by regulatory actions, market approvals, and manufacturing compliance issues.

Supply Chain Risk Assessment — Valsartan

API sourcing, concentration risk, storage requirements, and current alerts

HIGH RISK

1API Sourcing & Raw Material Dependency

India is a leading producer of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), including valsartan. However, the production of these APIs is heavily reliant on Key Starting Materials (KSMs) sourced from China. According to the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), 41% of KSMs used in U.S.-approved APIs are solely sourced from China, while 16% are from India. This dependency poses a significant risk, as any disruption in the supply chain from China can directly impact API production in India.

The reliance on Chinese KSMs has previously led to quality concerns. In July 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported the detection of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, in valsartan produced by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China. This discovery prompted global recalls and highlighted the vulnerabilities associated with concentrated sourcing of critical raw materials. (who.int)

2Supplier Concentration & Single-Source Risk

The export market for valsartan from India is highly concentrated. Our proprietary trade data indicates that the top five exporters—Mylan Laboratories Limited, Macleods Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Sandoz Private Limited, Alembic Pharmaceuticals Limited, and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd—account for 75.5% of total exports. Notably, Mylan Laboratories Limited alone holds a 37.1% share. This concentration increases the risk of supply disruptions, as issues affecting a major supplier can have widespread implications.
