Service Overview

Everything you need to know about this service

A Wholesale Drug License is a legal authorization required for businesses engaged in the wholesale distribution of medicines and pharmaceutical products. The license is issued by the State Drug Control Department under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
Businesses that supply medicines to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other medical institutions must obtain a wholesale drug license before starting operations. This license ensures that drugs are stored, handled, and distributed according to government regulations and safety standards.
Unlike retail pharmacies that sell medicines directly to consumers, wholesalers supply medicines in bulk to retailers and other businesses. Proper storage facilities, record keeping, and compliance with drug safety guidelines are essential requirements for obtaining this license.
Our experts assist you throughout the entire wholesale drug license process, including document preparation, application filing, and coordination with authorities to ensure smooth approval.
