The pharmaceutical industry implements a wide range of quality control measures to maintain the safety and efficacy of its products. Some of the most critical quality control measures are:
Before the raw materials are used in the manufacturing process, they undergo a series of tests to ensure their quality. This includes tests for the purity, identity, and potency of the raw materials.
The manufacturing process itself is carefully monitored and controlled to ensure that the final product meets the required standards. This includes checks on the equipment used, the temperature, and the conditions under which the process takes place.
Once the final product has been manufactured, it undergoes a series of tests to ensure its quality. This includes tests for the potency, purity, and stability of the drug.
