Cleaning procedures are essential for preventing the contamination of manufacturing products. Those procedures must be well-documented, approved, and consistently performed by professionals to ensure the quality and safety of a product. Cleaning validation ensures that the facility and equipment are designed, used, and maintained in a manner that will remove by-products, cleaning agent residues, or microorganisms from new products. In the pharmaceutical industry, regulators expect to see a validation program with documented evidence that a process will consistently lead to a product that meets quality standards. In other words, the compliance, quality, and safety of drug products depend upon a.. READ MORE »
The pharmaceutical world is bound by a number of rules and regulations designed to ensure both quality and safety when manufacturing new drugs. Natural health products (NHPs) are no exception. NHPs are defined as vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, homeopathic medicines, probiotics, and other products like amino acids. Since NHPs don’t require a prescription for sale, they must be safe to use as over-the-counter remedies. This is where good manufacturing practices come into play. From quality and risk management to ongoing post-marketing activity, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance is required at multiple stages of NHP production. This blog will explore..

While pharmacy is the science of the development, preparation, and distribution of drugs, clinical pharmacology focuses on exploring the relationship between drugs and the humans they’re prescribed to. As a subset of biomedical science, clinical pharmacology is underpinned by the application of pharmacological methods and principles to explore how drugs directly affect populations. The discipline of clinical pharmacology connects science with the practice of medicine, ensuring that those receiving drugs are effectively treated and that potential side effects are reduced. If you’re exploring a career in Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control, you’ll be working to ensure that pharmaceutical drugs.. READ MORE »
Pharmacovigilance (or PV) is a major part of drug safety, dealing with the detection, assessment, and monitoring of drug effects on the human body. With updated regulations and technological advancements, the pharmaceutical industry is facing pressure to automate PV systems—optimizing spending costs while also improving risk management. By doing so, PV systems would be better suited to create personalized medicine. Automation would also help promote transparent data sharing between patients and healthcare providers as well as regulatory agencies. In this way, those pursuing pharmaceutical studies can expect automation to significantly change the pharmaceutical industry. Here’s a closer look at how.. READ MORE »
Big data is a term increasingly used by professionals in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years, as it is considered to be key to furthering pharmaceutical research and development (R&D). When used effectively, the information provided helps facilitate the discovery of a new drug product. The discovery of drugs becomes an easier process, as the data is used to predict how the drug will interact with the person consuming it. This data is also used to make research more efficient and to enhance clinical trials, as well as to facilitate technological innovation and improve client safety. With the use of.. READ MORE »
