What is DRUG?

All medicines for internal or external use of human or animals and all substances intended to be used for or in the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation (decreasing) or prevention of any disease or disorder in human beings or animals, including preparations applied on human body for the purpose of repelling insects like mosquitoes; and Such substances (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the human body or intended to be used for the destruction of vermin or insects which cause disease to human beings or animals. All substances intended for use as components of a drug including empty gelatine capsules; and Such devices intended for internal or external use in the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of disease or disorder in human beings or animals.

Foreign pharmaceutical companies nowadays have a better legal foundation (patents) for releasing new drugs in India. General policies toward foreign investment have also improved significantly. The timing of these structural changes coincide with India's growing demand for newer classes of drugs as well as their increasing ability to afford international prices. Although recently developed foreign drugs are now increasingly able to take advantage of India's drug demand growth, the Indian medical regulatory system has become more complicated, and new drugs can take a year or more to be approved for marketing.

You can count on our expert consultants for assistance with the efficient and timely registration of your pharmaceutical or API product in India.
