Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are a set of guidelines and these standards are mandatory for a pharmaceutical company to follow in order to produce safe and quality products. GMPs are primarily based on the principles of safety and quality.
The most important part of GMP is quality. Pharmaceutical products must be free of contamination and must meet the predetermined specification. Products that do not meet the specification may be ineffective and unsafe for the consumer.
Manufacturing facilities must follow specific procedures for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. These procedures refer to raw materials, equipment and record keeping for all activities.
Safety is another important part of GMP. Products made at the facility must be safe for consumers. The product must be tested for potential hazards before the product is released for distribution. If the product is not safe, the manufacturer must take steps to resolve the problem.
The product must be effective and safe for patients and must meet predetermined specifications. The manufacturer must ensure the safety and efficacy of the product before the distribution of the products.
