Procedure for Stability Testing of Controlled Drugs

1) Purpose

The purpose of this SOP is to establish a procedure for conducting stability studies for controlled drugs in compliance with relevant regulatory guidelines. This ensures that controlled substances maintain their quality, safety, and efficacy throughout their shelf life.

2) Scope

This SOP applies to all personnel involved in the stability testing of controlled drugs, including formulation development, quality control, and regulatory affairs teams.

3) Responsibilities

Formulation Development Team: Responsible for developing formulations for controlled substances and selecting suitable packaging.
Stability Study Team: Responsible for conducting stability studies according to approved protocols.
Regulatory Affairs Team: Responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and submitting stability data to the relevant authorities.

4) Procedure

4.1 Protocol Development

4.1.1 Develop a stability testing protocol that meets the specific requirements for controlled drugs as defined by regulatory guidelines.

4.1.2 Include parameters such as assay,
