Medical drugs approved by government of India

[S. Gopal]

I want to get the list of medical drugs approved by the government of India *(the Drug Controller of India). How do I go about it?

S Gopal,

From your post, it is not very clear whether you want a list of "approved drugs" or "approved brands".

In the first case of "approved drugs", you can check with:

CDSCO(Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation)

In the second case of "approved brands", there is a "licensing" authority in each state which grants the licence for the manufacture and marketing of drugs.

Thats a very good information.

Gopal,
From your query it is not clear why you want the list of all drugs approved. The drugs are approved based on the trials conducted at various stages. (May be some of our Doctor friends can throw more lights into it)

If you want to report about the adverse effect of a drug you can do it

Central Drugs Standard Control Organization

When I get a prescription from my doctor, I wish to know whether that drug is approved by the government of India for treating a particular ailment. I also wish to know its generic name from the doctor. The I would like to check the same with the list received from the Drugs Controller of India and be assured that the patient is NOT consuming incorrect / unapproved drug.
