In pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality is not an option — it’s a necessity. Each product that reaches the patient’s hand must be of the highest order of safety, efficacy, and consistency.
That’s where Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) matters — and where Carity Pharma Consultancy delivers reliable, actionable know-how.
Whether you’re establishing new premises, preparing for an inspection, or returning to production following findings of non-compliance, our GMP consultants are behind you to assist in navigating the complexity of pharmaceutical production with certainty and precision.
What is GMP — and Why It Matters
GMP regulations are enforced to ensure that drug items are produced repeatedly and governed according to quality standards. They include all aspects from plant construction and raw material procurement to production, documentation, and training of employees. Failure to comply with GMP will lead to:
- Warning letters and regulatory penalties – In the pharmaceutical industry, warning letters from regulatory bodies may lead to monetary penalties and other regulatory actions. While warning letters do not mandate fines in and of themselves, they represent formal notice of non-compliance. They may lead to additional enforcement action if the deficiencies are not corrected.
- Product rejection or recalled lots – Product rejection is where a customer does not accept a product, typically due to defects or incompatibility.
- License withholding or late market entry – License withholding refers to a firm holding back or slowing the licensing of a pharma product, perhaps suppressing innovation and market competition. License withholding can indeed have an impact on the profitability and market position of a firm.
In this increasingly regulated age, GMP compliance is no longer just about following the law — it’s about staying in business.
