Do excipients need to be GMP manufactured?

Do excipients need to be GMP manufactured?

The excipient starting materials may not be required to be manufactured in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements for excipients (for example as in the IPEC-PQG GMP Guide1) because these other uses of the material do not demand the adoption of GMP.

What is GMP material?

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff.

What is GMP packaging?

The concept of good manufacturing practice (GMP) underpins the manufacture of all products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Food and food packaging must be manufactured under a GMP program that prevents contamination and ensures products will be safe.

What are the 5 main components of GMP?

To simplify this, GMP helps to ensure the consistent quality and safety of products by focusing attention on five key elements, which are often referred to as the 5 P’s of GMP—people, premises, processes, products and procedures (or paperwork).

What are the types of excipients?

Table 1 Common excipients used in tablets

Excipient Examples
Disintegrants Compounds which swell or dissolve in water e.g. starch, cellulose derivatives and alginates, crospovidone
Glidants Colloidal anhydrous silicon and other silica compounds
Lubricants Stearic acid and its salts (e.g. magnesium stearate)

Why are excipients important?

Excipients are used to facilitate the manufacture and use of medicines. Without excipients, it would not be feasible to formulate some drugs into appropriate medicinal products. Excipients are also important because some of them can cause harm.

What are examples of GMP?

A GMP audit helps improve the overall performance of different systems including the following:

  • Building and facilities.
