Drug production resumes

Published: February 23. 2013 4:00AM PST

The Indian drugmaker Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals announced Friday that it has started making a generic version of Lipitor again, saying it had resolved the problems that led it to halt production of the anti-cholesterol drug after glass particles were discovered in pills.

Ranbaxy recalled more than 40 lots of the drug in November because of the glass particles, which were about the size of a grain of sand.
