What is cGMP?

Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) is a system for ensuring that pharmaceutical products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It covers all aspects of production; from starting materials, premises and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. The goal is to minimize risks such as contamination, mix-ups and errors. cGMP regulations are enforced by regulatory agencies like the FDA in the United States and similar bodies in other countries. Compliance with cGMP is mandatory for pharmaceutical manufacturers and ensures the safety, efficacy, and quality of drug products.
