The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;CDSCO&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is [[India]]&amp;#039;s national regulatory body for [[pharmaceuticals]] and [[medical device]]s. It serves a similar function to the [[European Medicines Agency]] of the [[European Union]], the [[Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency|PMDA]] of [[Japan]], the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) of the [[United States]], and the [[Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency]] of the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[National Medical Products Administration]] (NMPA) of China. The Indian government has announced its plan to bring all medical devices, including [[Implant (medicine)|implants]] and [[Birth control|contraceptives]] under a review of the Central Drugs and Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within the CDSCO, the [[Drug Controller General of India]] (DCGI) regulates pharmaceutical and medical devices and is positioning within the [[Ministry of Health and Family Welfare]]. The DCGI is advised by the Drug Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) and the Drug Consultative Committee (DCC). Divided into zonal offices, each one carries out pre-licensing and post-licensing inspections, [[Postmarketing surveillance|post-market surveillance]], and drug recalls (where necessary). Manufacturers who deal with the authority required to name an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to represent them in all dealings with the CDSCO in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the CDSCO has a good track record with the [[World Health Organization]], it has also been accused of past collusion with independent medical experts and pharmaceutical companies. CDSCO plans to open an international office in [[Beijing, China]].&lt;br /&gt;
