Pharma Stability: Insights, Guidelines, and Expertise
How to Assess the Stability of Chiral Drugs Stability Testing Guidelines for Enantiomerically Pure Pharmaceuticals Introduction Chiral drugs, which exist as enantiomers (mirror-image isomers), require specialized stability testing to ensure that the desired enantiomer remains stable and does not convert to its undesired counterpart. The stability of chiral drugs is critical because different enantiomers can…
How to Perform Stability Studies for Freeze-Dried Products Stability Testing Protocols for Lyophilized Pharmaceuticals Introduction Freeze-dried products, or lyophilized pharmaceuticals, are widely used for drugs that are unstable in liquid form. Stability studies for freeze-dried products are crucial to ensure that the product remains effective and safe throughout its shelf life, particularly after reconstitution. These…
