Our Premises
DB Pharmaceuticals is a registered, Grade A certified pharmacy under the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) – with registration number Y60310.
We are fully compliant with the current South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and the Medicines and Related Substances Control Amendment Act, No. 19 of 1976 requirements for Category D – Complementary Medicines.
DB Pharmaceuticals welcomes SAHPRA’s approach to regulate the manufacture and sale of Complementary Medicines and Health Supplements which we believe will result in a safer, more efficient experience for patients who seek quality natural health products.
Product Development
All our products old and new have been developed by our two in-house responsible pharmacists who have 37 years of experience between them.
Once products and formulations have been researched and developed the formulation is sent to our team of specialist formulary pharmacists at the manufacturing site who review and test formulations against recent research to ensure safety, quality, and efficacy.
The Manufacturing Plant
Our products are manufactured at a state-of-the-art cGMP compliant facility specialising in the manufacturing of Category D Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAMS). The Plant has seen a number of plant improvements over the years; these include a new HVAC system complying with ISO 14644-1-2015 ISO 8 cleanroom standards as well as other plant upgrades which have been installed to reach regulatory compliance. The plant is ISO 9001:2015 certified for Pharmaceutical and Botanical products and is compliant wit all SAHPRA regulatory requirements to date.
In addition, the manufacturing site’s food safety management system is GFSI certified by ASPIRATA and holds a COA for a food premise in accordance with Regulation R638 of the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics, and Disinfectants Act 54 of 1972.
