It serves a similar function to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States or the European Medicines Agency of the European Union. The Indian government has announced its plan to bring all medical devices, including implants and contraceptives under a review of the Central Drugs and Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO).

Criticism
The CDSCO has been criticized for having far lower standards for drug approval than the United States' Food and Drug Administration and European Union's European Medicines Agency. In a 2015 interview, the current Drugs Controller General, G. N. Singh, admitted that if the CDSCO held Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers to American standards, most would fail. == See also ==
