Yes, Sun Pharma is based in India, but they keep buying out other manufacturers worldwide. In my case, they bought out Taro Pharma, originally an Israeli company, which manufactures generic Apixaban, the active ingredient in Eliquis. My container is labeled 'Taro-Apixaban', manufactured at Sun Pharma Canada, in Brampton, ON. My pharmacy tells me it's a product of Canada, and the shipping route is direct from Canada to the USA, no overseas shipping involved.

Sun Pharma owns a staggering number of drug manufacturing companies worldwide, including facilities in the USA. They have a licensing agreement with Merck, etc, etc. It seems almost impossible to keep track of the drug industry.

Sun and its subsidiaries have received warnings from the FDA at various times, but that could be good in that the regulatory process is working as expected. It seems all of the complaints were resolved. It's on Forbes lists of 'World's Best Regarded Companies' and 'World's Best Employers', and it's won a number of international awards.
