英文摘要 |
The quality of pharmaceutical products is dependent on the raw materials or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used. Therefore, many countries have established Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines for APIs. On 5 April 2007, GMP guidelines Part II on APIs for Medicinal Products were published by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S). The Taiwan FDA had formulated guidelines for local manufactures in accordance with the international standards and implemented them on 31 December 2015. In this study, we discussed the management of APIs in different countries and the implementation process of GMP guidelines for APIs in Taiwan. The Purpose was to ensure that the local guidelines met international standards and pharmaceutical products in Taiwan were of good quality and safe for use. |
