GMP or Good Manufacturing Practice refers to a set of guidelines and principles aimed at ensuring the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products. Synonyms for GMP include Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), Quality by Design (QbD), Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), and Current Good Tissue Practices (CGTP). CGMP regulations are enforced by regulatory bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that pharmaceutical companies adhere to the highest quality and safety standards in the production and manufacturing of drugs. Companies that do not comply with CGMP regulations may face penalties and legal action. Therefore, strict adherence to GMP guidelines is crucial for the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines.
