stability test Flashcards
This form of stability testing is conducted on drugs for the same duration as the recommended shelf life.
Real-Time Stability Testing
a product is stressed at several high (warmer than ambient) temperatures and the amountof heat input required to cause product failure is determined
Accelerated stability testing
In this study, the stability
samples are tested at predetermined intervals i.e. if a product has
shelf life of 5 years, it is conventional to test samples at 3, 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months.
Retained Sample Stability Studies
This testing procedure is not compulsory and drugs undergo this test on a case to case basis.
In this, the minimum and maximum temperature conditions are mimicked in a controlled environment and the drugs are exposed to these conditions for 24 hours and the changes if any are noted
Cyclic Temperature Stress Testing
The following stability evaluation is conducted for tablet:
