The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan issued a strict new notification bringing eight categories of everyday health products under tight regulatory oversight to improve product quality and protect public health across the country.
Sources confirm that the new regulations cover eight specific categories, including everyday essentials like vitamins and dietary supplements, along with medicated soaps, shampoos, and specialized infant milk.
Companies face strict new hurdles under the revised framework, requiring mandatory registration, official approval, and rigorous quality-control checks before they can legally manufacture or market these items in Pakistan.
DRAP introduced these regulations to ensure that any product carrying medicinal or therapeutic claims actually meets prescribed quality standards, forcing brands to deliver what they promise to consumers.
