CDSCO Issues Guidelines to Simplify Drug Offences

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has released new guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to make compliance easier for the drug industry. These guidelines relate to the compounding of offences under the Drugs and Cosmetics (Compounding of Offences) Rules, 2025.

The new rules explain how drug manufacturing companies and individuals can settle offences under the law through the Compounding Authority. This means that instead of going through long legal procedures, companies can follow a clear process to resolve violations.

The document, prepared and released by the CDSCO, is intended to help all stakeholders understand the new rules and follow them properly. It is expected to make compliance simpler and faster, reducing confusion and helping the drug industry work smoothly while staying within the law.
