  • The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has launched a digital monitoring system on the Online National Drugs Licensing System (ONDLS) portal.
  • The system tracks the supply chain and quality of high-risk pharmaceutical solvents.
  • The move follows reports of contaminated cough syrups containing diethylene glycol (DEG) that caused over 20 child deaths in Madhya Pradesh.
  • High-risk solvents include glycerin, propylene glycol, maltitol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, polysorbates, and certain alcohols.
  • Solvent manufacturers must register on ONDLS, upload batch-specific data, and obtain licenses before market release.
  • The portal also supports the processing of manufacturing and sales licenses, including certifications like Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and World Health Organization-GMP (WHO-GMP).
