Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is the part of quality assurance that ensures their quality is preserved throughout every stage of the supply chain. Consequently, all partners involved in distribution must comply with GDP principles.
However, GDP is not limited to medicinal products. It begins earlier – namely with the transport of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used for manufacturing. A number of guidelines and supplementary documents provide requirements on the distribution of active substances, which must be implemented accordingly.
This Online Training Course offers a comprehensive overview of the current GDP requirements for active substances for human and veterinary medicinal products. It also highlights how these regulatory expectations can be effectively translated into practice from different professional perspectives.
