Indian drug firm Ranbaxy has hired ex-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as an adviser, the company says.
The move comes a day after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the import of more than 30 generic drugs made by the drug firm.
The FDA said it imposed the ban after it found manufacturing quality problems at two Ranbaxy factories in India.
Ranbaxy said Mr Giuliani's consulting and investment firm will advise it and look into compliance issues.
Ranbaxy has said it is "very disappointed" with the decision of US drug authorities.
The import ban affects some popular generic versions of antibiotics and cholesterol medicines."
