Pharmaceutical Stability (On-Demand)

Curriculum

Course Description:
Learn about essential components for designing global stability
programs for pharmaceutical products: regulations, operations,
testing and investigations. Topics include cGMP, USP, FDA, ICH
and WHO stability requirements for establishing expiration dating
and label storage criteria; technical and regulatory aspects that
may affect design cost-effectiveness and compliance; and stability-indicating
methods for monitoring product quality throughout its
shelf life. Matrix and bracketing options to reduce testing, stability
data evaluation and investigation of out-of-trend and out-of-specifications
are also addressed. This course will also cover USP
<1225> Validation
of Compendial Procedures, USP <1226> Verification
of Compendial Procedures.
