A Practical Approach to Pharmacopoeia Compliance (eBook)

Pharmacopoeia Compliance Series

A company initially discovers a new drug substance and develops it into a drug product, performing clinical studies to ensure it is safe and effective. During development, the company establishes standards of quality that are considered appropriate for the drug substance and product. When all the necessary drug development information is available, it is submitted to regulatory agencies to gain marketing approval for the product in countries around the world.

These differences are often minor, but may also be quite significant, creating challenges for compliance in all countries where the product is approved.
