The Importance of Achieving GMP Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Compliance

April 24th, 2012 admin

GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing compliance is crucial in both ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and reliability of a drug, as well as bringing a drug to market. Compliance requires careful attention to multiple aspects of the manufacturing process – something that requires the expertise and experience of professionals.

Good Manufacturing Practices or GMPs have been set to guide the various aspects of production and testing of pharmaceutical products. Throughout the 1900s, there were many incidences of adulterated and mislabeled products, poisonings, injuries, and even deaths, which pushed the U.S. government to enact laws that aimed to minimize risk while simultaneously maximizing the benefits of these drugs.

Today, the FDA inspects GMP pharmaceutical facilities according to specific regulations. In addition, the agency also acts on any valid reports they receive about pharmaceutical products that could pose a threat to patients, and inspects the facilities in question, if necessary.

Should a facility be found to be in violation of any GMP regulation during these inspections, the drug in question would by law be considered “adulterated.” While this many not automatically mean that the drug is defective, unsafe, or ineffective, regulatory actions will be taken against the manufacturer as a preventive measure. However, for drugs that are already being distributed, the FDA can request the company to recall the product.

Apart from these, the FDA can also file a seizure case, which asks for a court order to have the drugs in question seized and destroyed. For more serious cases, the FDA can file criminal cases, which can result in jail time or fines for the company, if convicted.

To ensure GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing compliance, companies will do well to seek the help of experts. By outsourcing to a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer well-versed in GMPs, a company can rely on the expertise of professionals in producing safe and effective drugs.

As you find out more information about the background of the company, you increase your ability to assess the overall value of the opportunity.A good idea to base your research on is the fact that the company is releasing an IPO in order to raise more capital.

Digital Signage As A “Wayfinding” Technologies: Navigating The Maze Of Public Spaces

March 31st, 2012 admin

Ever pull your hair out trying to gain support from the public on vital social work issues? Simply stating the facts and figures will not penetrate the human value and belief system that governs behavior. Tap into a pre-existing value system! As a social worker, use these values to your advantage!

Furthermore, behavior based on values is so strong that people will actually support causes that are not in their best interest if the cause is securely packaged in a message that strongly speaks to their values. Bush’s speeches were often peppered with the words “freedom” and “liberty” and this sort of framing was extremely effective with gaining support. Use MetaphorsAs social workers, we often times deal with many complex issues. People have a hard time turning their backs on others.

People often have more sympathy for children than adults. Again, another very deep rooted American value that is likely to be effective to garner support.

Remember, a face to a social problem matters!

For example: If you are working on securing same-sex marriage equality and they say, “Gay marriage destroys families.” Unfortunately, in the social work field, we often times lack consistency and frequency of our messages. Have your supporters repeat the same messages too.
