Batch Production Record = Instructions for producing a specific pharmaceutical product Master Formula = Standard document for production department instructions Finishing Order = Document for finalizing product packaging Manufacturing Order = Instructions for manufacturing a pharmaceutical product
Match the following warehouse sections with their descriptions in a pharmaceutical production facility:
In-Process Section = Houses products awaiting labeling or final packing Returned Goods Section = Section for products returned from distribution channels Raw Materials Section = Section storing materials not yet tested by Quality Control Finished Goods Section = Section for fully packaged and labeled products
Match the following departments with their roles in the production planning process:
Marketing = Identifies products needed for distribution and sale Inventory Control = Coordinates with Planning Division on product requirements Purchasing = Plans and schedules product manufacture Production Control = Coordinates with Planning Division on product requirements
Match the following filling methods with their descriptions in pharmaceutical manufacturing:
Volumetric = Filling method using constant pressure through an orifice Gravimetric = Filling method based on weight measurement Constant level = Filling method ensuring consistent liquid levels
Match the following quality control parameters with their significance in tablet manufacturing:
Tablet Thickness = Parameter related to tablet's size consistency Filter cloth, non-woven = Tablet Disintegration = Parameter related to tablet's solubility properties
Match the following with their definitions:
Co-solvency = A special technique for poorly-soluble drugs, in which it is improved by the addition of a water-miscible solvent, in which the drug will have increased water solubility Complexation = A class of preservative, which are often used for ophthalmic, nasal and parenteral products, but in oral liquid preparations Membrane Filter Media = A filter media composed of nylon, Teflon, PVC and silver. It is employed for the micro-filtration of parenteral solution Manufacturing Overages = It refers to the addition of an active in an unstable pharmaceutical preparation, to compensate for the loss during manufacture
Match the following with their effects on drug-manufacturing firms:
Product Recalls = Harmful and Bad Publicity Overages in manufacture = Clinical studies show that the average is therapeutically safe
Match the following with their descriptions:
Creaming = Refers to the rapid formation of emulsion droplets or aggregates due to the absence of a protective barrier at the oil-water interface and the insufficient emulsifier surface overage Oil Phase in Pharmaceutical Emulsions = Restricted to mineral oil unless otherwise specified as the active ingredient of the product Class of Solids Influencing Emulsification = Bentonite, veegum, magnesium trisilicate Antioxidants in Cosmetic Emulsions = Butylatedhydroxyanisole, Butylatedhydroxytoluene, Tocopherol
