Corporate Comprehensive Compliance Program (CCP) Statement

Cadista Pharmaceuticals Inc. is committed to conducting business in an ethical manner and complying with State and Federal pharmaceutical compliance program guidelines. Our Comprehensive Compliance Program (CCP) is in accordance with guidelines established by the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (OIG HHS) and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturer's Association (PhRMA) effective as of 1/1/2009. Our CCP is also in accordance to recent regulations and State Bills (SB's) that establish annual spending limits on promotional marketing materials and on items or gifts given to healthcare providers (e.g., California State Bill (SB 1765), effective July 1, 2005). A declaration of compliance with the law is published on an annual basis.

Our Comprehensive Compliance Program includes the following, but is not limited to:

  • Policies, procedures and protocols that are written and revised as needed. These practices guide Cadista Pharmaceuticals Inc. and the conduct of our employees in our day-to-day operations.
  • A Formal Corporate Compliance Program that includes a corporate compliance committee and a full-time compliance officer who has the authority to report significant issues directly to the CEO and to the Board of Directors. The Compliance Officer is a senior executive staff member who is responsible for developing, implementing, operating and monitoring the compliance program.
  • A communication plan has been developed which includes a hotline, 410-912-3768, accessible 24-hours a day, seven days a week, and an email mailbox, cadista_us_compliance@jubl.com, to field complaints and concerns from employees or others. Calls can be made anonymously and without fear of retribution. Reports of compliance violations may also be faxed to 410-860-8719.
  • Investigation of all suspected non-compliance offenses will be documented, reported and prompt corrective action taken as warranted.
  • A Code of Employee Conduct that articulates Cadista Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s expectations of commitment to compliance by management, employees and agents.
  • Effective, ongoing training, education and certification programs for our employees regarding the Corporate Compliance Program.
  • Internal monitoring and auditing of our compliance program and marketing practices on a routine basis to detect and prevent deviations from the CCP.
  • Enforcement of standards with well-publicized disciplinary guidelines.
