About NAFDAC Registration
NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control) is the Nigerian government agency responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, sale, and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, chemicals, and packaged water in Nigeria.
A valid NAFDAC registration number means the product has been evaluated for safety, efficacy, and quality. Always buy drugs with valid NAFDAC numbers from licensed pharmacies.
