Drug License

A Drug License is a mandatory legal authorization required for any individual or entity involved in the manufacturing, sale, or distribution of drugs and cosmetics in India. Issued by the State Drug Control Department, it ensures compliance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and Rules, 1945, which aim to regulate the quality, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceutical products. Obtaining this license involves fulfilling specific criteria related to infrastructure, storage facilities, qualified personnel, and good manufacturing practices. It is crucial for maintaining public health and ensuring that only quality-controlled medicines reach consumers. Regular inspections and renewals are part of the process to uphold these standards.
