Topical products: Aiming for quality, simplicity, and cost-efficiency in their development, scale-up, and manufacturing

Pharmaceutical Technology

The preparation of a semi-solid dosage form – from formulation and development, to scale-up, commercial manufacturing, and packaging – should ideally take place under one roof in a contiguous, end-to-end workflow to avoid unnecessary equipment and process changes. Simplifying technology and site transfer.

Mitigating the risks of cross-contamination during Oral Solid Dose (OSD) manufacturing

Pharmaceutical Technology

Compared to other dosage forms, tablets are simpler to manufacture, package, and transport. Tablet manufacturing, which is the most common OSD form, takes an API dry powder ingredient and compresses it to form tablets, which can be coated or uncoated.

A Proposal for a Comprehensive Quality Overall Summary

ISPE

Ultimately, the summary was not adopted during the QbD pilot, but was reintroduced in 2014 when a Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) team prepared a white paper describing the content and format of an improved Module 2. Specification criteria are often established to control CMAs. CPP 5 Test DS identity (S.4.1)

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Biopharmaceutics is a scientific discipline that examines the interrelationship of the physicochemical properties of the drug, the dosage form in which the drug is given, and the route of administration on the rate and extent of systemic drug absorption ( Applied Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, Shargel, Wu-Pong and Yu, 5th Edition ).
