Prequalification Update - 03 May 2012

 

  Emtricitabine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Prequalified

Emtricitabine manufactured by Laurus Labs Pvt Ltd has been prequalified by the WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme (PQP) under its API prequalification procedure, launched in October 2010.

Good-quality APIs are vital to the production of good-quality medicines.  WHO's prequalification of APIs will facilitate production of quality medicines by identifying such APIs for manufacturers of finished pharmaceutical products.

API prequalification consists of a comprehensive evaluation procedure that has two components: assessment of the API master file (APIMF) to verify compliance with WHO norms and standards, and evaluation of the sites of API manufacture to verify compliance with WHO GMP requirements.
