CDSCO

The CDSCO risk assessment is a process used by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in India to evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. The CDSCO is responsible for ensuring that these products are safe and effective for the Indian population.

The Risk Assessment Process Involves a Number of Steps

  • Identifying the hazards: This involves identifying all of the potential risks associated with the product, such as side effects, adverse events, and contraindications.
  • Assessing the risks: This involves evaluating the likelihood and severity of each hazard.
  • Developing risk mitigation strategies: This involves developing strategies to minimize the risks, such as labeling changes, warnings, or restrictions on use.
  • Monitoring the risks: This involves monitoring the product for safety concerns after it has been approved for use..
