CDSCO Publishes Updates on Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) Drugs
CDSCO regularly publishes updates on NSQ drugs — samples tested by government laboratories and found not meeting prescribed quality standards under the applicable regulatory framework.
CDSCO publishes updates on NSQ drugs, meaning "Not of Standard Quality" drugs. These are drug samples that have been tested by government laboratories and found not meeting prescribed quality standards under the applicable regulatory framework.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, importers, and distributors, monitoring NSQ alerts is essential to:
- Verify whether your products or batches appear in NSQ lists
- Initiate recalls or corrective actions where applicable
- Track quality concerns across the industry
- Strengthen internal QA/QC protocols
At Pharmaloft, we help pharmaceutical companies build robust quality compliance frameworks and respond effectively to regulatory observations.
