Programme Introduction
About this programme
💊 Pharmacy Practice
✅ Regulatory & Clinical
📋 Case-Based Learning
Sections 21 to 23 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act govern how a Drug Inspector samples and seizes drugs during inspection — the practical fieldwork that underpins every enforcement action taken under the Act.
Getting this right means following correct sampling procedure, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody for seized samples, and applying a risk-based approach that focuses inspection effort where it matters most.
TerraLeap’s Sampling & Seizure Procedure course covers Sections 21-23 procedure, chain of custody, and risk-based sampling, for the practical fieldwork every Drug Inspector performs.
The course covers correct sampling procedure under Sections 21-23, chain of custody documentation, and applying a risk-based approach to sampling decisions.
Clinical and regulatory expertise — built for real pharmacy practice.
