The move aims to strengthen oversight of alcohol-based medicinal and healthcare products by bringing stricter controls on their manufacturing, distribution, and sale.
Under the proposed regulations, manufacturers and suppliers will need to follow specific compliance requirements, while consumers may be required to provide valid prescriptions for accessing certain high-alcohol formulations.
Officials said the step is part of efforts to improve safety standards, ensure responsible usage, and maintain better monitoring of products containing significant alcohol content.
The government is expected to issue further guidelines detailing the licensing process, regulatory requirements, and implementation framework for stakeholders.
