Good Distribution Practices – GDP

Good Distribution Practices (GDP) are a set of guidelines and standards that ensure the quality, integrity, and safety of pharmaceutical products throughout the distribution process. GDP governs the storage, transportation, and handling of pharmaceuticals from the manufacturer to the end user, including wholesalers, distributors, and pharmacies. The objective of GDP is to maintain the efficacy, safety, and quality of pharmaceutical products while minimizing the risk of contamination, counterfeiting, or other forms of product degradation. Some key aspects of Good Distribution Practices:

• Storage Conditions
• Transportation
• Documentation and Record-Keeping
• Quality Management Systems
• Product Security and Anti-Counterfeiting Measures
• Personnel Training and Competence
• Regulatory Compliance
