Introduction


Tobruk, Libya.

What is GMP ?(Good Manufacturing Practices)

• GMP is that part of Quality assurance which ensures that the products are consistently manufactured and controlled to the Quality standards appropriate to their intended use

• A set of principles and procedures which, when followed by manufacturers for therapeutic goods, helps ensure that the products manufacture will have the required quality.


Tobruk, Libya.

Good Manufacturing Practices

• A basic tenet of GMP is that quality cannot be tested into a batch of product but must be built into each batch of product during all stages of the manufacturing process.

• It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.


Tobruk, Libya.

Some of the main risks are

– Unexpected contamination of products, causing damage to health or even death.

– Incorrect labels on containers, which could mean that patients receive the wrong medicine.

– Insufficient or too much active ingredient, resulting in ineffective treatment or adverse effects.

Why GMP is important

• A poor quality medicine may contain toxic substances that have been unintentionally added.

• A medicine that contains little or none of the claimed ingredient will not have the intended therapeutic effect.

QC and QA

• QC is that part of GMP which is concerned with sampling, specifications, testing and with in the organization, documentation and release procedures which ensure that the necessary and relevant tests are carried out

• QA is the sum total of organized arrangements made with the object of ensuring that product will be of the Quality required by their intended use.


Tobruk, Libya.

QC and QA

• Operational laboratory techniques and activities used to fulfill the requirement of Quality

• All those planned or systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product will satisfy the requirements for quality


Tobruk, Libya.

QC and QA

• QC is lab based • QA is company based


Tobruk, Libya.

GMP

• The Quality of a formulation or a bulk drug depends on the Quality of those producing it

• GMP is the magic key that opens the door of the Quality

• In matter of GMP, swim with the current and

in matter of Quality stand like a rock!


Tobruk, Libya.

GMP helps boost pharmaceutical export opportunities

• Most countries will only accept import and sale of medicines that have been manufactured to internationally recognized GMP.

• Governments seeking to promote their countries export of pharmaceuticals can do so by making GMP mandatory for all pharmaceutical production and by training their inspectors in GMP requirements.


Tobruk, Libya.16

GMP Covers…• All aspects of production; from the starting materials,

premises and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff.

• Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product.

• There must be systems to provide documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process - every time a product is made.

Ten Principles of GMP

1. Design and construct the facilities and equipments properly

2. Follow written procedures and Instructions3. Document work4. Validate work5. Monitor facilities and equipment6. Write step by step operating procedures and work on

instructions7. Design ,develop and demonstrate job competence8. Protect against contamination9. Control components and product related processes 10. Conduct planned and periodic audits

Current GMP in manufacturing processes (cGMP)


Tobruk, Libya.

What are cGMPs?

• cGMP refers to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

• cGMP provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.

• Adherence to the cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations


Tobruk, Libya.30

Why are cGMP so important

• A consumer usually cannot detect (through smell, touch, or sight) that a drug product is safe or if it will work.

• While cGMPs require testing, testing alone is not adequate to ensure quality.

• In most instances testing is done on a small sample of a batch (for example, a drug manufacturer may test 1000 tablets from a batch that contains 2 million tablets), so that most of the batch can be used for patients rather than destroyed by testing.


Tobruk, Libya.31

Packaging


Tobruk, Libya.

Packaging and holding of drugs

• Care shall be taken when using automatic tablet and capsule counting, strip and blister packaging equipment to ensure that all ‘rogue’ tablets, capsules or foils from packaging operation are removed before a new packaging operation is commenced.
