This title combines all of the human and veterinary Regulations, Directives and guidance for medicinal products used by the pharmaceutical industry as their main source when manufacturing and distributing medicinal products in the European Union.

With global harmonization of regulatory requirements and quality standards and national and global business consolidations ongoing at a fast pace, pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and distributors are impacted by continual change. Offering a wide assortment of policy and guidance document references and interpretations, this Sixth Edition is significantly expanded to reflect the increase of information and changing practices in CGMP regulation and pharmaceutical manufacturing and control practices worldwide. An essential companion for every pharmaceutical professional, this guide is updated and expanded by a team of industry experts, each member with extensive experience in industry or academic settings.

This guidance book is meant as a resource to manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, providing up-to-date information concerning required and recommended quality system practices. It should be used as a companion to the regulations/standards themselves and texts on the specific processes and activities contained within the QMS. This book includes chapters on US current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP); international GMP; global GMP guides and harmonization; detailed analysis of the requirements and guidances; missing subparts; what inspectors are looking for; and the price of noncompliance. It also includes an appendix with two tabulated comparisons: the first compares US, European-PIC/S, Canadian, and WHO cGMPs, while the second compares US cGMPs with effective quality system elements. The companion CD contains cGMP regulations for sterile products produced by aseptic processing; it also includes updated data of statistical enforcement by the FDA, both domestically and abroad; a detailed glossary; and dozens of FDA guidance documents as well as international regulations (EU and Canada) and harmonization documents (WHO, PIC/S, and ICH). A very comprehensive checklist for a cGMP audit that is based on risk management criteria is also included. Finally, a comprehensive GMP exam is also included.

Globalization is rapidly changing lives and industries around the world. Drug development, authorization, and regulatory supervision have become international endeavors, with most medicines becoming global commodities. Drug companies utilize global supply chains that often include facilities in countries with inconsistent regulations from those of the United States, perform pivotal trials in multiple countries to support registration submissions in various jurisdictions, and subsequently market their medicines throughout most of the world. These companies operate across borders and require individual national regulators to ensure that drugs authorized for use in their countries are safe and effective, and appropriate for their health care system and their population. This process involves significant resources and often duplicative work. It is important to consider how this process can be improved in order to better allocate resources, time, and efforts to improve public health. Regulating Medicines in a Globalized World: The Need for Increased Reliance Among Regulators considers the role of mutual recognition and other reliance activities among regulators in contributing to enhancing public health. This report identifies opportunities for leveraging reliance activities more broadly in order to potentially impact public health globally. Key topics in this report include the job of medicines regulators in today's world, what policy makers need to know about today's regulatory environment, stakeholder views of recognition and reliance, as well as removing impediments and facilitating action for greater recognition and reliance among regulatory authorities.
