About this site
Purpose, operator, date and sources of the texts.
Purpose
theivtherapy.in explains the licences that the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and its rules require before a medicine made outside India can be imported and sold in India. It is meant for businesses and professionals in the health sector: manufacturers and their authorised agents, importers, wholesalers, pharmacies, doctors and hospitals.
Why there are no products
Under the Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices 2024, a drug must not be promoted before its marketing approval (clause 1.2). This site names, describes and shows no medicine. The full explanation is in the note Why this site names no medicine.
Who operates the site
The operator of the site is linked to a medicine manufacturer established outside India. None of that manufacturer’s medicines holds a Registration Certificate or import licence in India: they are not sold, promoted or supplied in India. No samples are offered.
The operator’s identity is given to anyone who asks for it through the contact form.
