Understanding the Role of Storage Excursions on Shelf Life Projections

In pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, maintaining the integrity of storage conditions is paramount to ensuring drug product quality. However, storage excursions—temporary deviations from prescribed temperature or humidity ranges—can and do occur. Whether during transportation, warehousing, or local storage, these excursions may impact the chemical and physical stability of drug products. This tutorial explores how such…
