What is GMP Quality? GMP Standards and Regulations

How is GMP Different from cGMP?

The Good Manufacturing practices guidelines ensure that the entire process from record keeping to packaging is done correctly and precisely. There is some difference between GMP and cGMP even though both GMP and cGMP assure quality. The “c” is added to cGMP to assure systems have accurate design, tracking, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. A manufacturer assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products through controlled manufacturing operations by adhering to cGMP compliance regulations.

Implemented by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) ensures that their products are safe and effective while the cGMP ensures continuous improvement to product quality. It commits to the greatest quality standards using upgraded systems and technologies.

cGMP is more expensive than regular GMP as it mostly uses new, innovative technology available at the time of production.
