Characteristics of Assessments of the Sterility of Various Groups of Solid Drug Formulations for Parenteral Administration

详细

We present an information-analytical review of methods for evaluating the sterility of solid drug formulations. Current normative documentation regulating the quality of parenteral drugs is analyzed and the main limitations of the test method for this indicator are described. The probability of detecting microorganisms depending on the proportion of contaminated units in a batch and the quantity of sample taken for analysis is assessed. Results obtained from analysis of the State Register of Drugs relating to the nomenclature of drugs in solid formulations and their areas of use are presented. The characteristics of tests for individual pharmacological groups of drugs are described.
