[ Why a clinic brand ]
The routine you prescribe, under your own name
-
Patients keep buying from you
The products you recommend are bought from you, not from a marketplace.
-
Better outcomes
Consistent aftercare improves treatment results and patient satisfaction.
-
A monthly relationship
A branded routine turns one consultation into a repeat relationship.
-
Stronger margins
Own-brand margins are typically higher than reselling an imported brand.

[ Compliance, explained ]
How we get your products compliant and DRAP-ready
Launching a skincare line in Pakistan means satisfying two regulators, and a Halal certifier if you want the logo on the pack. Which rules apply depends on what is in the formula and what the label promises.
-
We classify each product before we formulate it
A moisturiser, cleanser, serum or sunscreen that makes only cosmetic claims is governed by the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA). Skin creams, shampoos and soaps are compulsory items, so they must meet the relevant Pakistan Standard; for creams that is PS 3228, which sets pH, microbial, heavy-metal, mercury, arsenic, hydroquinone and steroid limits and prescribes what the label must show. The moment a formula contains a drug substance, or the label claims to treat a condition, it moves under the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan. Natural-ingredient medicated cosmetics, derma-care products and oral supplements are enlisted with DRAP's Health & OTC Products Division.
-
We build the file while your sample is in trial
DRAP's product form asks for the product profile — brand name, ingredients with strengths, pack size and price — plus the master formula, manufacturing process, testing specifications, shelf life and storage, directions for use, and the label artwork. Our lab produces every one of those documents during development, so the file is ready the day you approve the sample.
-
We test in accredited laboratories
Batches are released by our quality control department and, where the file needs independent evidence, sent to an accredited laboratory such as PCSIR for a certificate of analysis covering microbial count, heavy metals, mercury and hydroquinone.
-
We hold the regulatory relationship. You hold the brand.
Dermis & Dosis is the enlisted, DRAP-inspected manufacturer. In the most common structure the product is enlisted under your brand name from our facility, your trademark is registered with IPO Pakistan in your name, and a private-label agreement records that the brand belongs to you, with formula ownership and exclusivity set out in writing. Where DRAP accepts a contract-giver application from your company, we prepare that file and act as your contract acceptor instead.
-
We make the pack itself compliant
Because printing is in-house, every carton and label is laid out to the marking rules: product name and type, manufacturer's name or registered mark, net contents, batch number, manufacturing and expiry dates, key ingredients and statutory statements, plus your Halal and PS marks once granted.
-
We keep it compliant
Enlistments and GMP certificates are time-limited and renewable. We track renewal dates, DRAP's first-come-first-served queue, and any change — a new pack size, a new claim — that needs a variation filing.
Government fees are modest. Under the 2025 schedule it is Rs 6,300 per locally manufactured health product enlistment and Rs 19,900 for a manufacturer or contract-giver enlistment.
The real cost is time. DRAP publishes no fixed timeline and works its queue first come, first served, so plan for several months and let development, testing and packaging run in parallel.
We have written the whole route up in plain English — DRAP enlistment explained covers PSQCA versus DRAP, the forms, the fees and what the timelines really look like. The laboratory side of it, from PCSIR panels to stability data, sits under testing & certification.
This is guidance based on the DRAP Act 2012, the Enlistment Rules 2014, the 2025 fee schedule and PS 3228. It is not legal advice, and DRAP practice can change. We confirm the route for your specific products before anything is filed.
[ What we need from you ]
Six things, and we draft most of them
Everything on the product side — formula, process, specifications, test reports, stability data, label artwork and manufacturer certificates — is produced by us.
- CNIC of the owner or partners, and company or partnership registration (SECP or a partnership deed) with your NTN
- Brand name and logo, with the trademark application or certificate from IPO Pakistan
- Signed private-label and quality agreement with Dermis & Dosis, which any DRAP contract-manufacturing file requires
- Notarised undertaking on stamp paper for the DRAP forms — we provide the draft
- Your product list, and any protocol or reference products you work from
- Clinic or company address for the label
[ Clinic ranges we build most ]

- Acne system
- Pigmentation and melasma
- Post-procedure recovery
- Anti-ageing routine PDRN, exosome, peptide, retinal
- Hair fall programme
- Sun protection line
- Oral collagen and glutathione shots
[ Doctor questions ]
The eleven we are asked most
See all 36 questions
Do you help doctors with DRAP requirements?
Yes. We classify each product, prepare the product file and test reports where DRAP enlistment applies, and guide you through the brand-owner documents.
Do you offer a named account manager?
Yes. Every client has one point of contact from consultation to reorder.
Do I need DRAP approval for a moisturiser or cleanser?
Not if it contains no drug substance and makes only cosmetic claims. It must meet the applicable Pakistan Standard — for creams that is PS 3228 — under PSQCA, and the factory making it holds the PSQCA Certification Mark licence for compulsory categories such as skin cream and shampoo.
When does a skincare product become a "medicated cosmetic"?
When it contains a drug listed in Schedule-1 of the DRAP Act, or when it makes a therapeutic claim. Natural-ingredient derma-care products and medicated cosmetics are enlisted with DRAP’s Health & OTC Division; drug-containing creams need drug registration, which is a different route.
What is "enlistment" and how is it different from registration?
Enlistment is a provisional entry in DRAP’s register that permits manufacture and marketing while full licensing rules are pending. It is renewable — renewal costs half the initial fee — and it can be revoked for non-compliance.
Can my clinic be the enlistment holder if Dermis & Dosis makes the product?
The rules define a "contract giver" who owns the brand and a "contract acceptor" who manufactures. In practice DRAP’s contract-manufacturing approval is currently framed manufacturer to manufacturer, so most doctor brands are enlisted from the manufacturer’s facility under the doctor’s trademark, with a private-label agreement. We advise on the structure DRAP will accept for your file.
Who owns the brand and the formula?
You own your brand, your trademark and your customer relationships. Formula ownership depends on the service: catalogue formulas remain ours, and custom formulas can be made exclusive to you on terms we agree and record in writing. Everything is set out in the private-label agreement before work starts.
How long does DRAP enlistment take?
DRAP processes files first come, first served and publishes the queue. There is no statutory deadline, so plan for several months. Development, testing and packaging run in parallel, so you are not waiting idle.
Can I sell in my clinic and in pharmacies?
Yes. We supply backbar sizes for in-clinic use and retail packs for dispensing or pharmacy distribution, each with compliant labelling.
Can I run patient trials before production?
Yes. Our trials step includes patch tests and real-use trials with feedback sheets, so you can validate tolerance and results before we scale.
Can you make professional-use products such as peels?
Yes, with "professional use only" labelling and usage protocols.
Your name deserves your own product
We handle the formulation, the testing, the paperwork and the printing. You keep the brand and the patients.
