Mizoram Drugs Regulatory System started functioning in the state since the year 1986 under the Health & Family Welfare Department.

 

The Drugs Regulatory Officers are implementing the Drugs & Cosmetics Act 1940 & Rules 1945 in the state regulating the manufacture, sale and distribution of drugs and cosmetics to ensure availability of standard quality of drugs and cosmetics to the consumer/public. They maintain quality of drugs through licensing, periodical inspection to assess the extent of compliance and monitoring the quality of drugs in the market through sampling and post marketing surveillance. They inspect and regulate the function of blood bank to ensure safety of blood for transfusion. They launch prosecution in the court of law to those who contranvene the provisions of the Act and Rules there under.

The Drug Regulatory Officers are also enforcing the Drugs (Price Control) Order 2013 to regulate supply and prices of the bulk drugs and formulations in order that the public could get regular supply of drugs at affordable prices and also control hoarding and shortage of drugs. Inspite of the land locked nature and difficult terrain that create problem in transportation, all the pharmaceutical formulations could reach the consumer at MRP even at the remotest corner of the state.

The Drug Regulatory Officers are also regulating and enforcing the Drugs and Magic (Objectional Advertisement) Act, 1954 to control advertisement of drugs through media that could give false information misleading the public for self medication or self medical treatment and also to protect the society from quacks.

 

In addition to the normal work and duties the misuse/abuse of prescription drugs becoming a kind of trend among youngsters of the state leads to arising of illegal selling of such drugs in the state both by local people as well as those from outside the state. This increases the workload of the regulatory personnels as it require all time monitoring and tackling to protect the society.

 

Also, the state being in the international border area makes it an important gateway for illegal export and import of bulk drugs, pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics. The drug regulatories with such less facilities are trying their best effort to tackle such bigger challenges.

 

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

 

  1. To ensure the availability of standard quality of drugs and cosmetics to the consumer and to ensure safety of blood transfusion.
  2. Availability of drugs at reasonable prices and to control hoarding and shortage of drugs in the state.
  3. To prevent objectionable and misleading advertisement in order to discourage self-medication and self-treatment.
  4. To prevent misuse of abusive drugs.

 

 The organizational set-up of Mizoram Drugs Control Administration comprises of the following Officers:
