Overview of Packaging Operation eBook

Training outcome of the module:

Some pharmaceutical businesses only have licenses to conduct packaging operations. Some manufacture their own products and then perform testing, packaging, labeling, warehousing, and distribution.

Customers of pharmaceutical products expect products that are safe and effective. One of the ways to ensure that products are safe and effective is by producing finished products that are correctly identified. Product and labeling mix-ups can result in potentially serious consequences.

As such, GMP rules require that product rules be correctly identified with the correct name, ingredients, strength, and botch information. There must be no unspecified components present.

On completion of this module, you will be able to:

– Define what is meant by mislabelling.

– State the critical GMP requirements for packaging controls.

– Describe the GMP controls for pre-printed matter.

– Identify the GMP requirements for selling up a packaging line.

– State the importance of online controls.

– Perform basic reconciliation calculations.
