==Criticism==

===Emergency contraception===
In August 2007, Cipla launched an [[emergency contraception]] drug "i-pill" sold [[over the counter]],<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/cipla-rises-on-morning-after-pill/article1-251319.aspx |title=Cipla rises on morning-after pill |newspaper=Hindustan Times |date=5 October 2007 |access-date=3 November 2013}}</ref> which was controversial with regard to its being available without a prescription and the large amount of drug contained per dose.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://healthcare.financialexpress.com/200710/market09.shtml |title=Cipla Launches i-pill |newspaper=Financial Express |access-date=3 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.financialexpress.com/news/-ipill-by-cipla-draws-criticism-from-experts/232556 |title=‘i-pill’ by Cipla draws criticism from experts |newspaper=Financial Express |date=27 October 2007 |access-date=3 November 2013}}</ref>

===Generic drugs===
In the late 1960s, Cipla began manufacturing a new, patented drug, [[propranolol]], without the permission of the drug's patent holder, [[Imperial Chemical Industries]] (ICI), which protested to the Indian government. The CEO of Cipla reached the [[First Indira Gandhi ministry|government of Indira Gandhi]] to change India's [[patent]] laws to eliminate patents that directly covered [[Pharmaceutical drug|drugs]], and instead to allow only patents that covered [[Chemical synthesis|methods to make drugs]].<ref name=Wired>{{cite news |url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.12/indiadrug.html |title=The Treasure of Mumbai |newspaper=Wired Magazine |date=December 2006 |access-date=4 November 2013}}</ref> so that Cipla could go ahead and produce as many low-priced generic drugs for the poor as possible. Since then Cipla has also produced a low-cost drug to treat HIV and expanded operations into several developing countries, including African nations, where most HIV and poor patients existed at one time.<ref name=nationalherald>{{cite news |url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/heart-warming-story-of-the-hamieds-who-set-up-cipla-and-have-been-saving-lives |title= Heart-warming story of the Hamieds, who set up CIPLA and have been saving lives |newspaper=National Herald |date=April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020}}</ref> But the changes made led to criticism of both India's patent laws and Cipla.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://biohealthinvestor.com/2007/01/indian-generic-drug-maker-targets-sad-americans.html |title=Indian Generic Drug Maker Targets Sad Americans |website=biohealthinvestor.com |date=3 January 2007 |access-date=4 November 2013}}</ref> India reinstated patents on drugs in 2005.<ref name=Wired/>
