What EU regulators found
  1. EDQM lists all ten certificates as suspended on 12 August 2026 with the reason “Failure to CEP procedure”, not GMP non-compliance.
  2. EDQM published no further detail. No EU statement of non-compliance for Uquifa Mexico appears in EudraGMDP for the past year.
  3. Ciprofloxacin lost two CEPs, base and hydrochloride. The other eight molecules lost one each.
