Q & A released — Pharmaceutical CGMPs for the 21st Century: A Risk-Based Approach
SALT LAKE CITY UT USA — MEDICAL INDUSTRY E-MAIL NEWS SERVICE(TM) — JULY 20 2005 — Three years after the US FDA introduced an initiative to modernize its approach to reviews and inspections of pharmaceutical companies, questions still abound.
The initiative called “Pharmaceutical Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) for the 21st Century: A Risk-Based Approach,” represents a philosophical shift in the FDA’s policy approach. The goal is to bring pharmaceutical regulation to the 21st century level, by emphasizing science and placing more accountability on industry members.
