M3L1 Flashcards
is a process of MEASURING and ANALYZING the properties of drug products before, during and after the manufacturing process
DRUG PRODUCTS TESTING
COMPEDIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLID DOSAGE FORMS
testing of Pharmaceutical product involves ____, ____, and some ____ evalutaion or tests
chemical, physical, and microbiological
according to WHO, ____ refers to the SUM of all procedures undertaken to ensure the identity and purity of a particular pharmaceutical product
QUALITY CONTROL
____ involves TESTING OF UNITS and determining if they are within the specifications for the final product
QUALITY CONTROL
the purpose of the testing is to determine any NEEDS for CORRECTIVE ACTIONS in the manufacturing process to uncover defects from the decisions whether to ALLOW or DENY product release
QUALITY CONTROL
PURPOSE of quality control
determine any needs for corrective actions
allow or deny product release
____ improves the OVERALL QUALITY of the drug and helps companies MEET CONSUMER DEMANDS for better product
GOOD QUALITY CONTROL
Quality control tests for TABLETS
6
weight variation
content uniformity
disintegration
dissolution
friability
hardness & thickness
- is used to ensure that each tablet contains the PROPER AMOUNT of drug
- involves the determination of individual weights of the samples tested and computation for the average weight
WEIGHT VARIATION
CRITERIA
WEIGHT VARIATION
- NMT 2 tablets should differ by more than the % weight variation
- NO TABLET differs by more than double the % weight variation
TWO CRITERIA MUST BE SATISFIED
- it is intended to establish within limits that a product has UNIFORM AMOUNT of an active ingredient in a batch
- it is done to determine UNIFORMITY in dosage units for samples whose active ingredient is LESS THAN 50mg
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST is done to determine uniformity in dosage units for samples whose active ingredient is ____ (weight)
LESS than 50mg
CRITERIA
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST:
STAGE 1: 10 SAMPLES
85% - 115%
no sample excess the specifications
CRITERIA
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST:
CRITERIA
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST:
STAGE 1: 1 sample EXCEEDS the specification
75 - 125%
repeat the test with additional 20 samples
CRITERIA
CONTENT UNIFORMITY TEST:
STAGE 2: additional 20 samples
85 - 115%
NONE of the sample exceed out the specification
- involves MECHANICAL BREAK UP of compressed tablet into smaller granules upon ingestion
- a qualitative test that measures the TIME required, under a gicen set of conditions, for a group of solid dosage forms to disintegrate.
- this test is conducted to determine whether tablets or capsules disintegrate within the prescribed time when places in a liquid medium under experimental conditions
DISINTEGRATION
a state in which any residue of the unit except fragments of insoluble coatings and capsule shells remaining on the screen of the test apparatus or adehring to the lower surface of the disk, if used, is a SOFT MASS HAVING NO PALPABLY FIRM CORE
