Pharmaceutical Quality Systems


Book Description

When a pharmaceutical company decides to build a Quality System, it has to face the fact that there aren't any guideline that define exactly how such a system has to be built. With terms such as quality system, quality assurance, and quality management used interchangeably, even defining the system's objectives is a problem. This book provides a pr




Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Management


Book Description

The global market associated with pharmaceuticals has progressed enormously since last few decades. The quality and economy of a pharmaceutical product became an essential aspect for its existence and fulfillment of global requirements. It is also a concern for various regulatory agencies all over the world. Pharmaceutical manufacturer has to produce the products that meet the prescribed standards of certain international regulatory agencies and local government. These agencies provide guidelines and set various regulations for the pharmaceutical manufacturers to get quality products. In concern with all these facts, 'quality assurance' and 'quality management' became a specialized area of study that deals with the practices to be adopted during the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. This book deals with all the elements of quality assurance and management. Salient Features: -Presented the information in condensed and cohesive form -Covers different validation protocols for various processes, methods and equipments involved in the manufacturing -Involved pharmaceutical inspections, various regulatory acts Explained the quality management system and its role

Development and Manufacture of Protein Pharmaceuticals


Book Description

In this era of biotechnology there have been many books covering the fundamentals of recombinant DNA technology and protein chemistry. However, not many sources are available for the pharmaceutical develop ment scientist and other personnel responsible for the commercialization of the finished dosage forms of these new biopharmaceuticals and other products from biotechnology. This text will help to fill this gap. Once active biopharmaceutical molecules are candidates for clinical trial investigation and subsequent commercialization, a number of other activities must take place while research and development on these molecules continues. The active ingredient itself must be formulated into a finished dosage form that can be conveniently used by health care professionals and patients. Properties of the biopharmaceutical molecule must be clearly understood so that the appropriate finished product formulation can be developed. Finished product formulation development includes not only the chemical formulation, but also the packaging system, the manufacturing process, and appropriate control strategies to assure such good manufacturing practice attributes as safety, identity, strength, purity, and quality.




Pharmaceutical Quality by Design


Book Description

Pharmaceutical Quality by Design: Principles and Applications discusses the Quality by Design (QbD) concept implemented by regulatory agencies to ensure the development of a consistent and high-quality pharmaceutical product that safely provides the maximum therapeutic benefit to patients. The book walks readers through the QbD framework by covering the fundamental principles of QbD, the current regulatory requirements, and the applications of QbD at various stages of pharmaceutical product development, including drug substance and excipient development, analytical development, formulation development, dissolution testing, manufacturing, stability studies, bioequivalence testing, risk and assessment, and clinical trials. Contributions from global leaders in QbD provide specific insight in its application in a diversity of pharmaceutical products, including nanopharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and vaccines. The inclusion of illustrations, practical examples, and case studies makes this book a useful reference guide to pharmaceutical scientists and researchers who are engaged in the formulation of various delivery systems and the analysis of pharmaceutical product development and drug manufacturing process. - Discusses vital QbD precepts and fundamental aspects of QbD implementation in the pharma, biopharma and biotechnology industries - Provides helpful illustrations, practical examples and research case studies to explain QbD concepts to readers - Includes contributions from global leaders and experts from academia, industry and regulatory agencies




Pharmaceutical Process Design and Management


Book Description

A quality product or service is the successful and profitable outcome of organising resources, as judged by the final customer. Every business unit needs processes in order to do this effectively; and all processes must be documented so that achievements can be measured and future improvements planned and implemented. Pharmaceutical Process Design and Management takes a step-wise approach to process management. It presents the various elements comprising a process (man, machine, materials, method and environment); it looks at quality control and quality assurance, tools for quality improvements and ways of structuring a process into discrete, fully accountable elements; it proposes that for processes to run successfully, all operators must be the initial problem-solvers; finally, it illustrates how, with the right tools, every problem can be broken down into solvable elements. Learn how to deploy a science and risk-based approach to pharmaceutical manufacturing, by taking a fundamental approach to process design and management and, as a consequence, keep your customers satisfied and your profits healthy.
