Guidelines in the pharmaceutical industry are essential frameworks that ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs and medical products. These guidelines, established by regulatory bodies like the FDA, EMA, and WHO, encompass every stage of the drug development process, from research and clinical trials to manufacturing, labeling, and post-market surveillance. They provide standardized procedures for good manufacturing practices (GMP), good clinical practices (GCP), and good laboratory practices (GLP), ensuring that companies comply with strict ethical and operational standards. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for gaining regulatory approval and maintaining public trust in pharmaceutical products.
