GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) are standards that help ensure therapeutic goods are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards to minimize risks and ensure patient safety. The document discusses GMP in terms of its history, current implementation, and future developments. Currently, GMP is described in the Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1940 and Rules of 1945, outlining requirements for facilities, equipment, and processes. Looking ahead, the document proposes amendments to better align ASU drug regulation with international standards like cGMP, and ensure continued quality, safety, and efficacy of manufactured goods.
