An Overview of Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing

Pharmaceutical contract manufacturing is the process of outsourcing the work of manufacturing medication such as pills, tablets and capsules for consumption. It may also entail drug development processes and even regulatory support to help with the lengthy approval needed for a drug to be released on the market.

This process is actually a necessary one, not only for multi-million dollar pharmaceutical companies, but also for smaller groups and businesses that need the support of an outside facility which is equipped to handle the needs of the manufacturing course.

For companies and businesses, contract manufacturing means that they can have the time and means to focus more on the business and management side of the industry. At the same time, they can also save costs from the complex methods of drug manufacturing. Thus, contract manufacturing is a boon for the field of pharmacy and biotechnology. It saves time and money.

Besides that, for industries of pharmacy, food and drink, there are firm regulatory boards that have to approve new products.

Clinical Research - An Overview

Over the period of time, Research & Development service industry has reached new levels and scaled great heights. Right from simple home remedies to complex research processes, every year better and modern products have been developed. The demands for medicines that speedily and effectively cure contagious diseases have further added to the need for extensive and deeper research. More resources and personnel are attributed as far as R&D is concerned. The need for better and safer products is never ending.

Owing to the efforts and endeavors of pharmaceutical industry a variety of health products and medicines that cater to different diseases and health issues have been developed. Though drug development was an import sector on earlier centuries, it is the 19th century that paved way for a streamlined and organized drug development processes. The success of a pharmaceutical company entirely relies on innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. The stress is on being an innovator and leader in the domain of Research & Development.

In this modern age, latest equipments, skilled research team and fully equipped laboratories are in place to conduct Research & Development. Before placing the medicine in market, it has to pass through variety of phases and tests. Clinical research, metabolic studies, and pre-clinical pharmacology and many other processes are undertaken before it is approved for use. The important thought behind this is to introduce an effective and safe product (with minimal side effects). This is a tedious process that involves trial and error, observations, and inferences. Time, man power and revenue together contribute into developing a new drug.

Though new inventions resolve prevailing health disorders, newer diseases evolve and the battle against illnesses continues. There is no dearth of human intelligence, but the success and advancement of the pharmaceutical industry depends solely on the Research & Development.

Like the other industries, pharmaceutical firms also need to focus on revenue and profit. Every drug needs to be approved by FDA, if it is not approved then all the costs and resources allocated for developing it goes waste and can translate into heavy losses.

Billions and millions are spent on clinical trials, data management, and labor costs too. If this part is outsourced the company can focus on other aspects and avenues thereby resulting in cut down in costs and lesser requirement of human resources. For example, a firm can focus on in-depth research on the drug formula, while testing of drug safety can be simply outsourced. This will do away the need for a testing laboratory and personnel.

At times, then need for a local drug is there and you do not need a global product. For example Dengue has hit major parts of Delhi. So to transfer and set-up plants and establish a firm and a testing unit needs huge funds and infrastructure in place. Rather than re-locating the main firm or its personnel, it is viable to hire and engage local resources or simply outsource it to a specialized company. This results in speedy, hassle-free, thorough and cost-effective projects.
