Study Notes
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
- Ensures products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards
- Protects patients from unsafe or ineffective products
Risks in Pharmaceutical Production
- NOT a main risk: environmental pollution
GMP Coverage
- Covers all aspects of production, from raw materials to finished products
- Includes facilities, equipment, personnel, and documentation
ProcessQuality Control
- Essential to have control over each process that affects the quality of the finished product
- Critical steps must be validated to ensure consistent quality
World Health Organization (WHO) Role
- Provides guidance and support for GMP implementation globally
- Develops and promotes standards for pharmaceutical quality assurance
Documented Proof
- Provides evidence of compliance with GMP regulations
- Necessary for traceability and accountability in the production process
Historical Context
- Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906: led to the establishment of the FDA and regulation of pharmaceuticals
- Strengthened regulations after the 1937 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster, which prompted the passage of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938
- Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments (1962): ensured greater efficacy and safety of drugs
Significant Events
- 1941 Sulfathiazole tablets contamination incident: highlighted the need for stricter quality control measures
- Thalidomide tragedy (1950s-1960s): led to increased regulation and a greater emphasis on drug safety
