Pharmacists, other health professionals, health facilities and supply stores have to determine the regulatory approvals of a pharmaceutical company to make informed decisions when dealing with them.
Lagos State has a significant concentration of pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria that are involved in the production and distribution of pharmaceutical products and other related items.
NAFDAC is the regulatory agency in Nigeria for drugs and other medical devices.
This guide provides names of some of the pharmaceutical companies located in Lagos State and provides a description of their activities. The guide explains how to confirm the regulatory status of these companies before doing business with them.
It is important to note that a company located in Lagos or having a good reputation in the pharmaceutical industry does not always mean all the products made by the company are currently NAFDAC registered. NAFDAC product registration is done on an individual product basis and the respective establishment licenses and product registrations must be verified independently.
