Good Distribution Practice

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) refers to a set of guidelines ensuring that medicines and healthcare products are stored, transported, and handled properly throughout the supply chain. Its goal is to maintain the quality, safety, and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals from manufacturing to the end user. This involves proper storage conditions, accurate documentation, and secure transportation methods. By following GDP, companies help prevent contamination, deterioration, or theft of medicines, ensuring that patients receive products that are safe and effective for use.
