Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a set of guidelines introduced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a framework for guaranteeing that products are reliably created and controlled by quality principles. It is intended to limit the dangers implied in any pharmaceutical production that can’t be dispensed with through testing the final result. It comprises many good practices for assembling, bundling, testing, and conveying pharmaceutical products.
