Stability studies need to support shipping and distribution of drugs maintain its identity, strength and purity throughout its expiration. Warning letters, Short term excursion study will be necessary to design shipping condition to maintain quality of drug product through expiry.

1. Study to Support Shipping and Distributing Pharmaceutical Products
Learn the stability studies which need to be done to support shipping and distribution of drugs.
Description
Why Should You Attend:
Drug Product must maintain its identity, strength, quality and purity throughout its expiration.
Physical, chemical and biological data are influenced by various environmental factors such as
temperature, humidity and light. In current manufacturing environment, products can be shipped and
distributed across different climatic zones. Seasonal changes as well as types of transportation can
greatly affect the supply chain of the products.
This webinar will outline stability studies to support shipping and distribution of drug products. Upon
completion of this session, attendees will learn key factors that would affect the shipping and
distribution of drug products. you will understand the product stability profile, typical environmental
conditions for storage and anticipating environmental extremes for distribution. These data will be
necessary to design shipping condition in order to maintain quality of the drug product through expiry.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
Goal of stability studies.
Warning letters and observations on shipping and distribution practices.
Short term excursion study.
Thermal cycling study.
Analytical testing for these studies.
Who Will Benefit:
Pharmaceutical scientists
Manufacturers or raw material and ingredients
Analysts and lab managers
QA managers and personnel
Regulatory affairs
