Current GMP Guidelines (cGMP) & GxP in Pharmaceuticals

CGMP refers to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the US FDA. CGMPs provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Adherence to the cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations.This includes establishing strong quality management systems, obtaining appropriate quality raw materials, establishing robust operating procedures, detecting and investigating product quality deviations, and maintaining reliable testing laboratories.

The purpose of the GxP quality guidelines is to ensure a product is safe and meet its intended use. GxP guides quality manufacture in regulated industries including food, drugs, medical devices and cosmetics.
