Quality of medicine is crucial for safety of life. Therefore, several regulations have been mandated, one of which is GMP.
For example, just imagine getting a prescribed medicine from the pharmacy and hoping for the best for the medicine to work and get well soon. You may not have a clue about the quality of a drug’s performance, but GMP regulations include what is required for patients to use the drug, including the following:
=>> Drug Labels
=>> Safe for human consumption
=>> Drug efficacy
=>> The expiration date
=>> Correct dosage
=>> Quality tested
=>> Contaminated by bacteria (if any)
In today’s world, GMP is established to control the quality of pharmaceuticals and other medical products. GMP is at the heart of the pharma industry. GMP has gained importance as a guideline specifically designed to ensure quality and safety in the production of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical diagnostics and devices. These GMP regulations enforced by the Food and Drug Administration help reduce the incidence of product recalls, adverse effects, and lawsuits arising from defective products.
But, why do we actually need GMPs? Shouldn’t we (individuals, companies) simply and strictly follow the quality control rules and be able to find any defects during the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs medical devices resulting in safe and effective products. Yes, of course, good quality should be applied during the manufacturing process, but it cannot be a test tool for the final product. GMP checks for all defects that cannot be eliminated through quality control of the finished product. GMPs are claimed to be standard legal regulations that protect the consumer from buying a product that is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of pharmaceutical firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious risks.
