If we will search for  RI  anywhere we will be getting many results and definitions. The act of gathering and analysing publicly available regulatory information. This includes communicating the Implications of that information, and monitoring the current regulatory environment for opportunities to shape future  regulations , guidance, policy and legislation. Regulatory Information collectively comprises of three main segments which are followed while performing Regulatory Information activities: •  Gather Data : RI professionals perform research about regulatory norms as per a particular product in a particular geography. As far as collecting relevant regulatory information is concerned, there are a lot of sources that RI professionals leverage to consolidate their research material. •  Analyse Information : This gathered data needs to be filtered out to obtain relevant information as per the purpose. The data filtered is then rearran...

In general,  compliance  means conforming to a rule, such as a specification,  policy , standard or law.  Regulatory compliance  describes the goal that organizations aspire to achieve in their efforts to ensure that they are aware of and take steps to comply with relevant laws, policies, and regulations. Due to the increasing number of regulations and need for operational transparency, organizations are increasingly adopting the use of consolidated and harmonized sets of compliance controls. This approach is used to ensure that all necessary governance requirements can be met without the unnecessary duplication of effort and activity from resources. Regulations and accrediting organizations vary among fields, with examples such as PCI-DSS and GLBA in the financial industry, FISMA for U.S. federal agencies, HACCP for the food and beverage industry, and the Joint Commission and HIP...

What Is The Registration Process For Exporting A Drug In Different Countries? Exporting drugs to different countries depends on the regulatory system of the both the courtiers. Import and export of drugs from a pharmaceutical industry are allowed after gaining all the approvals. Earlier in India, the export of drug was not a cumbersome process but, now the Indian regulatory system is too fragile. It takes about a year or so for a drug to be approved for marketing. The ever-changing laws, regulations, and demand have completely tossed the approval process. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation of India controls the import and export of pharmaceutical products. Drug Registration Process Drug registration is a system meant for all the pharmaceutical products. It is required for pre-marketing evaluation, marketing authorization, and post-marketing review so as to ensure that all the products fall in the standards of quality, safety, and efficiency. In short, drug reg...

Recently, the FDA declared that it was no longer accepting applications for generic formulations of Oxycontin . The reason? Because Purdue Pharma, OxyContin’s manufacturer, had developed–and received approval for–an “abuse-resistant” formulation of the drug. Whether this is an example of regulatory gamesmanship or the fruits of incentivizing public safety is up for debate. With that in mind, the CLB blog is proud to host a short debate between CLB Fellow, Jake Sherkow, and Duquesne School of Law Professor, Jacob Rooksby. The FDA’s determination is sensible. It recognizes the original OxyContin®’s abuse limitations and the attendant public safety risks of allowing generic versions of the original drug to enter the market. OxyContin® (oxycodone hydrochloride) quickly became the market leader in the burgeoning field of chronic pain management when the FDA approved it for sale in late 1995. Touted for its patented sustained-release properties, OxyContin® a...

       Future of pharma outsourcing The pharmaceutical industry’s main markets are under serious pressure. North America, Europe and Japan jointly account for 82% of audited and unaudited drug sales; total sales reached US$773 billion in 2008, according to IMS Health. Annual growth in the European Union (EU) has slowed to 5.8%, and sales are increasing at an even more sluggish rate in Japan (2.1%) and North America (1.4%).1 Impending policy changes, promoting the use of generics in these key markets are expected to further dent the top- and bottom-line of global pharma majors. The industry is bracing itself for some fundamental changes in the marketplace and is looking at newer ways to drive growth. More than that, India has a growing pharmaceutical industry of its own. It is likely to become a competitor of global pharma in some key areas, and a potential partner in others. India has considerable manufacturing expertise; Indian companies are among the wor...

Counterfeiting A counterfeit medicine is one which is deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled with respect to identity and/ or source.  Counterfeiting of medicines can apply to both branded and generic products. Generally, counterfeit products may include products with the correct ingredients or with the wrong ingredients, without active ingredients, with in correct quantities of activities ingredients or with fake packaging  Counterfeit Medicines Products marketed with intent to deceive 1– Counterfeit active/bulk ingredients 2– Counterfeit finished products 3– Unregulated diverted products 4– Counterfeit labeling 5– Mislabeled substances (e.g., generic anti-biotics) Why are Medicines a Target? Fakes can be made relatively cheaply (at least as profitable as narcotics – lower risk). Many countries, especially in the developing world lack adequate regulation and enforcement Even in the industrialized countries, the risk of ...
