INTRODUCTION
The concept of GMP is well known to every pharmaceutical company in the world.
Many countries express GMP in regulations, Codes and guidelines.
In this era of worldwide herbal & herbo-mineral drug revolution, there is a need to implement cGMP
To meet the worldwide demand for herbo-mineral products, it is essential to maintain GMP.
Definition of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is that part of quality assurance which ensures that medicinal products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization (MA) or product specification.
GMP is concerned with both production and quality control.
What is cGMP?The “c” stands for “current”, reminding manufacturers that
they must employ technologies and systems which are up-to-date in order to comply with the regulations.
DIFFERENT GOOD PRACTICES
Good manufacturing practice(GMP)
Good laboratory practice(GLP)
Good distribution practice(GDP)
Good clinical practice(GCP)
Good regulatory practice(GRP)
The Regulation
Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 (Section 33-N)
Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945
Drugs and Cosmetics (Amendment) Rules 1999
Schedule T
SCHEDULE T
Raw materials used in manufacturing of drugs are authentic, of prescribed quality and free from contamination.
The manufacturing process is as has been prescribed and maintains standards of purity.
Adequate quality control measures are taken and The manufactured drug which is released for sale is of
acceptable quality.
To achieve the objectives listed above each licensee shall evolve methodology and procedures for manufacture of drugs which should be documented as a manual and kept for reference and inspection.
WHAT IS THE NEED OF GMP?
To assure the public that Ayurvedic drugs are safe.
To ensure that raw materials used in the manufacture of drugs
are authentic, of prescribed quality, and are free from
contaminatation.
The manufacturing process has been prescribed to maintain
standards.
Adequate quality control measures are adopted.
The manufactured drug released for sale is of acceptable quality.
IMPORTANT PART OF GMP
An extremely important part of GMP is Documentation of every aspect of process, activities, and
operations involved with the drugs and medical device manufacture. GMP takes holistic approach of regulating the manufacturing and
laboratory testing environment itself.
GMP mandates: All manufacturing and testing equipments have been qualified as
suitable for use. All operational methodologies and procedures such as
manufacturing, cleaning and analytical testing utilized in the drug manufacturing process have been validated.

SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR PHARMACY
A covered area that is at least 1400 square feet and should have adequate space for,
1) Receiving and storing raw materials.2) Manufacturing process area.3) Quality control section.4) Finished goods storage.5) Office.6) Rejected goods storage.
RAW MATERIALS FOR MANUFACTURING
Separate and adequate facilities for ◦ Raw materials of metallic origin◦ Raw materials of mineral origin◦ Raw materials from animal source◦ Fresh herbs◦ Dry herbs or plant parts◦ Excipients etc.◦ Volatile oils, perfumes and flavors◦ Plant extracts, exudates and resins
Labeling: ‘UNDER TEST’ or ‘APPROVED’ or ‘REJECTED’
GENERAL REQUIREMENT IN PHARMACY
a) Drugs can be produced under hygienic conditions.b) Facilities are compatible with other manufacturing
operations that may be carried out the same or adjacent premises.
c) There is adequate working space-to prevent the possibility of cross contamination.
d) The facility is designed, constructed, and maintained to prevent entry of insects and rodents.
e) Adequate water supply.f) Suitable drainage system.g) Proper fire and safety measures.
GMP SPECIFICATION FOR OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES & END PRODUCT
All manufacturing processes are clearly defined.Systemically reviewed in light of experience.Shown to be capable of consistently manufacturing. Instruction and procedures are written in clear & common
language.The quality and quantity of the product are as expected.Significant deviations are fully recorded and investigated.Complaints about marketed products are examined.The cause of quality of defects are investigated. Appropriate measures are taken regarding defective product
and to prevent recurrence of defective products.

QUALITY CONTROLLab
Personnel: To be headed by an independent person.
Duties:
◦ To prepare specifications and testing methods for raw materials and
finished products.
◦ To sample, test, approve or reject RMs, PMs, semi-finished product
and finished products.
◦ To supervise and monitor the adequacy of storage conditions.
◦ Maintenance of the records of each process where testing of
finished product is not possible.

least once in a year
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WITH GMP
All these raw materials have been used in formulations since ancient times based on traditional knowledge.
Adulteration in case of metals, minerals & animal products.
The only specification on quality is that they must satisfy the quality control specification as laid down in official books i.e. classics in Ayurveda.
CONCLUSION To meet the worldwide demand for herbo-mineral drugs, it
is essential to maintain GMP . Implementing GMP for herbo-mineral drugs, as per the
recent amendment of the Drugs and Cosmetic Act of the Government of India with a buffer period of two years, is a great challenge for Ayurvedic drugs.
Recently Govt. of India has notified GMP for ISM drugs. This is also aimed to ensure production of good quality medicines for the consumer in the domestic and international market.
It is necessary to maintain the consumer's interest in ensuring quality and standard and to meet the requirements of various importing countries for Ayurvedic drugs.
