Contamination Issues in Drug Industry
Drug contagion cases are found to have caused
drastic risks resulting in death of patients.
These are either bacterial or environmental
related aspects that affect the hygiene of
medications at the time of processing or
packaging.
FDA suggests for routine internal audit for
pharmaceutical manufacturing to check the quality
of pills.

Pathogens Entry - A Prominent threat for
Infections
Pathogens are infecting agents that enter in the
form of bacteria or fungi and the main source
remains from materials which are obtained from
animal product.
Some of the medications use animal products and
they may contain pathogens
4
Pathogens Entry - A Prominent threat for
Infections
These are prone to spread fast and therefore
chances of infecting the containers and medicine
are ample if the manufacturing process and
packing are not followed as per recommended
regulations.

What are the different possibilities of Medicine
infectivity?
Major source of infectivity remains vegetative
bacteria which enter through raw materials
obtained from animal derived material.
Other things include, toxin producing
microorganisms, fungi and molds, prions, etc.

How CGMP deals with this issue?

• According to Current Good Manufacturing Practice
  infections to medications can be controlled in
  terms of the following ways,

Microbial Growth inside Filling Containers
Microbial growth may take place due to bacteria
or fungi and they are adapted to environmental
factors in most of the cases.
Filling containers used in drug industry is one
of the sources that carries favorable place for
microbial growth.

FDAs Insistence on Sampling Containers
Food and Drug Association strongly claims on
sampling and experimenting containers that are
used for packaging medicines.
Some of the recommended types of packaging
options include vials, bottles, packaging lines,
etc.

Nullifying Contamination Growth
The point of reducing or resolving pollutants in
healthcare products and to make the process fast
and avoid the time taken for processing packed
products, incorporating supplementary machines
like capping machine, labeling apparatus and
conveyors can be of great support to meet the
recommended standards.

Drug Production Containers and Closures
One of the best and safest ways to proceed with
hygienic production stays in the selection of
containers and suitable equipment to do the
overall process of filling and capping such as,
powder filling equipment, liquid load device,
injectable powder filling machine, capping
machine and so on.
