"Pharmaceutical companies must follow Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Storage Practices (GSP) in compliance with pharmaceutical safety standards. These are standards designed to safeguard medications from contamination or damage during processing. Equally, companies must make sure that licensing and audits are regularly conducted and that the tests meet the standards of authorities like the FDA, EMA, WHO, MHRA, or relevant local bodies."
"The stock should be organised well so that it is safe and easily accessible. Use separate storage areas for: In these storage areas, you want clearly marked zones with proper signage that make it quick and easy to see where everything is. There should be a rota for material flow and shelf stocking to minimise congestion and collisions between forklifts or trolleys. Finally, there should be accessible emergency exits and evacuation routes so that all staff can evacuate easily in an emergency."
Adherence to Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Storage Practices (GSP) ensures medicines remain safe and effective through the supply chain. Regular licensing, audits, and testing against authorities' standards maintain regulatory compliance. Well-organised stock with separate zones, clear signage, and material-flow rotas reduces errors, congestion, and accident risks while ensuring rapid access. Environmental controls such as correct temperature ranges (for example, 2–8°C for insulin), pest prevention, and cleanroom measures protect sensitive products from contamination. Regular maintenance and validated equipment for transport and storage support consistent product quality and safety.
