Drug Surveillance Portal - Karnataka

May 21 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 40 0
  • Karnataka launched India’s first integrated digital portal to monitor Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) medicines and Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) drug sales.
  • The system was introduced by the State Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) for real-time drug quality surveillance.
  • Once a medicine batch is declared NSQ, the portal automatically blocks its sale across the supply chain.
  • Retailers selling NDPS drugs must upload patient, doctor and prescription details before dispensing medicines.
  • The portal also tracks stock availability, medicine recalls, and suspicious prescription patterns to improve transparency and patient safety.
