The post-marketing on-going stability studies of the medicinal product should be conducted throughout its shelf life to demonstrate that, the product specification can be maintained under the labelled storage condition. Since 2013, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) started a project to inspect the compliance of PIC/S GMP requirement of on-going stability programs. This article analyzed data from the 144 inspections and 547 samples tested against their specification from 2013 to 2016. The results showed that 66 samples failed. The pharmaceutical manufacturers of those misbranded drugs were required to initiate product recall promptly and followed with investigation to take appropriate and effective corrective and preventive actions. By performing inspection project, sampling and testing, TFDA ensures the domestic manufacturers would conduct post-marketing on-going stability programs, thus to avoid misbranded product sales on the market, and advance the management of the pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure medicinal products’ safety and quality supplied in Taiwan for the general public. |
