Study Notes
Drug Formulation and Stability
- Stability refers to a formulation's ability to remain within its physical, chemical, therapeutic, and toxicological specifications over time.
- Shelf-life is the period during which a product remains effective and safe for use.
- Overages in pharmaceuticals allow for stability, especially when active ingredients may degrade or be inconsistent in concentration.
Packaging Materials
- Primary packaging materials include components directly in contact with the drug, such as labels and seals.
- Quarantine stickers are usually colored yellow to indicate products awaiting testing or approval.
Manufacturing Documentation
- Key documents in drug and cosmetic manufacturing include manufacturing monographs, batch records, CGMP guidelines, and standard operating procedures. Not all documents are essential, with one type being excluded.
- The retention period for finished products generally extends up to two years post-distribution of the first lot.
Quality Control Measures
- Overages are justified when clinical studies indicate safety or when active ingredients cannot be properly standardized.
- Documents such as batch production records guide the Production Department in manufacturing pharmaceuticals.
Warehouse and Production Sections
- The Finished Goods Section houses products that are packaged but not yet labeled, waiting for quality control approval.
- The Planning and Scheduling Division works closely with the Production Control department to manage supply and distribution.
Filling and Stability Testing
- Liquid filling may use methods like volumetric filling, where liquids are pumped under constant pressure through a uniformly sized orifice.
- Stability tests, such as accelerated stability tests, assess product degradation under controlled temperature conditions.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
- CGMP stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice, ensuring that products are produced consistently and controlled according to quality standards.
- FIFO policy is used in inventory management to ensure the oldest stock is used first, minimizing waste and expiration risks.
