The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, enacted to safeguard public health, necessitates that manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of drugs and cosmetics adhere to a stringent licensing process. This process involves thorough scrutiny of the manufacturing facilities, product formulations, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The Act aims to regulate the production, distribution, and sale of drugs and cosmetics, thereby mitigating potential risks associated with substandard or adulterated products.
