Programme Introduction
About this programme
💊 Pharmacy Practice
✅ Regulatory & Clinical
📋 Case-Based Learning
The Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) and the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) together govern how essential medicine prices are regulated in India, directly affecting pharmaceutical business and compliance decisions.
Understanding this framework means knowing how price fixation works, how the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) determines which drugs fall under price control, and what ongoing compliance actually requires.
TerraLeap’s DPCO & NPPA Regulations course is designed for pharmacy and regulatory affairs professionals, covering price fixation, NLEM, and compliance.
The course covers price fixation methodology under DPCO, the role and structure of the NLEM, and ongoing compliance obligations for pharmaceutical companies.
Clinical and regulatory expertise — built for real pharmacy practice.
