Questions about Macleods Pharmaceuticals

Does Macleods Pharmaceuticals hold a US DMF or a CEP?

Both are filings rather than approvals.
Is Macleods Pharmaceuticals FDA-registered?
4 sites operated by Macleods Pharmaceuticals carry an FDA establishment identifier (FEI), which means they are registered with the FDA as a drug establishment. Registration is not the same as approval or inspection clearance.
