Indian Import Regulations

Importing Medicines in to India
Through the Named Patient
Program

The Named Patient Program supports lawful import based on valid physician prescriptions, medical need, and regulatory requirements. Each request is handled with compliance, quality assurance, traceability, and patient safety for the identified patient only.
