This document provides an introduction to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). It defines GMP as a set of principles and procedures that help ensure therapeutic goods manufactured will have the required quality. GMP was first established in the US in 1963 to ensure drugs are consistently manufactured and controlled to quality standards for their intended use. The objectives of GMP are to produce products that conform to predetermined specifications, are of consistent quality, and minimize contamination and errors. Key aspects of GMP include having trained employees, documented processes, adherence to standard operating procedures, clean premises, and quality assurance testing of products before distribution.
3. INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
According to FDA a drug is defined as adulterated if the methods
used in its manufacture or processing i.e..
o Testing
o Packaging
o Storing
Does not confirm to the GMPs
As a result of this GMPs were first established in JUNE 1963.
The concept was born in USA.
4. Drug being a very important component of health care
system need special attention in regards to their
QUALITY
SAFETY
EFFICACY
5. ???WHAT IS GMP???
• GMP is that part of quality assurance which ensures that the
products are consistently manufactured and controlled to
the quality standards appropriate to their intended use.
• GMP- A set of principles and procedures which when
followed by manufacturers for therapeutic goods , helps to
ensure that the products manufactured will have the
required quality.
6. The Government of India amended the drugs and
cosmetics rules 1945 on 24th JUNE 1988 and prescribed
GMPs under schedule M
For homeopathic drugs schedule is M1

9. 1. PEOPLE
• All employees are expected to strictly stick to manufacturing
processes and regulations.

11. 5. PREMISES
• Premises should promote cleanliness at all time to avoid cross-
contamination, accidents or even fatalities.
• All equipment should be placed or stored properly
• Calibration of equipment regularly to ensure they are fit for
the purpose of production
17. CONCLUSIO
N
• The quality of a drug depends on the quality of
those producing it
• Continuous and professional auditing is essential
to overcome the challenge of meeting strict
requirements of GMP
• GPM is doing the right thing when nobody is
watching but it will reflect in the final product
being right.
• In matter of GMP , Swim with the current and in
matter of quality stand like a rock.
