Medicinal Products/APIs with false representation
These may include falsified:
- Name of Manufacturer
- Name of Market
- Authorization Holder
- Batch Number
- Packaging/Labelling
- Identity/Composition
- Manufacturing Records/Certificates of Analysis
Consumers put their Trust in Manufacturers & Suppliers and also in the Regulators/Inspectors.
to
- To weed out adulterated, counterfeits & falsified products
- To ensure safe, efficacious & quality products
- To oversee drug/API manufacturing & supply chain
(1) Role of HSA as a (Health Product) Regulatory Agency
- To wisely regulate health products
- To safeguard public health
GMP aims to build quality into a product at all stages of its manufacture from:
- Design of medicinal product (formulation of dosage form)
- Procurement/QC of starting materials
- Production of intermediate/bulk products & IPQC
- Filling/packaging/labeling of finished product
- Final QC testing of finished product before release
Limitations of Conventional Product Testing
- You test only a “representative” sample size
- You can test only if you know the analyte and you have a test method
- You can test only if test method is specific, accurate and reliable, i.e if it is validated.
A Medicinal Product is fit for its intended purpose, if:
- It is the right product (made according to a predetermined formula and method)
- It is of the right strength, in the right container and correctly labelled.
- Free from contamination
- Not deteriorated or broken down
- Properly sealed in its container and protected against damage and contamination
- Consistently of the quality specified by the manufacturer and approved by the regulator.
quality of medicine/health product has to include
- Identity (of starting material)
- Potency (of starting material, especially active pharmaceutical ingredients)
- Purity (freedom from contaminants and impuriries)
- Pharmaceutical Quality Attributes (of finished dosage form)
o Hardness, Friability, particle size, dissolution profile, pH, clarity, Color index, Microbial limits, sedimentation rate, viscosity, sterility, Endo-toxin levels - Stability, homogeneity
