WEBINAR

N-Nitrosamines continue to be a global concern.

Regulators requested drug product manufacturers to identify products at risk of N-nitrosamine formation or contamination. The implications could impact the pharmaceutical industry supply chain.

The pharmaceutical community’s understanding of N-nitrosamine formation in drug products, including the potential impact from excipients, continues to evolve.
This webinar provides an overview of the role of excipients in drug product risk assessments and the accompanying IPEC Federation position paper.

In addition, the webinar includes best practices and examples for communication between excipient suppliers and users. Open communication between drug product manufacturers and excipient suppliers is required to ensure the appropriate information is obtained to inform risk assessments on drug products.

> Excipient manufacturers, users, distributors
> Regulatory affairs
