New Arm Created by India’s Drug Regulator to focus on Quality & Global Standards : The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has established a new unit — the “Coordination Division” — as India broadens the mandate of its drug regulatory authority beyond just quality testing, News18 has learnt. The division is responsible for several […]

  Bridging GMP and GDP: Ensuring Cold Chain Integrity from Manufacturing to Distribution: In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the quality of temperature-sensitive products requires strict adherence to both Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP). GMP ensures medicines are produced in a controlled environment, free from contamination, while GDP ensures that the same

Importance of Pharmacovigilance in Storage and Distribution of Medicines Pharmacovigilance and monitoring are essential in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of medicines, particularly in India, where improper storage and distribution can significantly affect the therapeutic outcomes of drugs. The need for pharmacovigilance arises from the risk posed by temperature excursions, humidity variations, and transport

Cold Chain Management: Career Opportunities Beyond Pharmaceuticals in Medicine, Life Sciences, Nursing, and Diagnostics Introduction When we think of cold chain management, the pharmaceutical industry often comes to mind. However, the importance of cold chain logistics stretches far beyond just medicine. From life sciences research to nursing and diagnostic labs, cold chain systems are crucial

Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS): Revolutionizing the Future of Cooling Solutions In today’s world, the demand for efficient and sustainable cooling solutions is growing rapidly, driven by factors like climate change, increasing urbanization, and the rising need for temperature-sensitive industries such as pharmaceuticals, food storage, and data centers. Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) is emerging as a game-changing model that offers

Climate strategies must take vaccination into account Climate-driven shifts in temperature, precipitation and nutrient availability are altering the transmission and distribution of human, animal and plant pathogens. More than half of all infectious diseases that affect humans are aggravated by climate change, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bearing a ten-times-higher burden of infectious diseases

The Severity of Temperature Control in Clinical Trials Temperature control is paramount in clinical trials due to the high sensitivity of trial materials. Biological samples and investigational drugs are prone to degradation if exposed to temperatures outside their required ranges. Even minor temperature deviations can compromise the safety and efficacy of these materials, leading to

Keeping Medicines Safe: Why Cold Chain Management is So Important? Ever wondered how vaccines or medicines stay safe and effective when they travel across the world? It’s all thanks to something called Cold Chain Management. This system ensures that temperature-sensitive medicines are kept at the right temperature from the factory to your hands. Let’s explore
