The Annual Product Quality Review (APQR) is a systematic assessment of the quality of pharmaceutical products over a 12-month period. It ensures compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory standards such as USFDA, EMA, MHRA, and WHO. APQR helps pharmaceutical companies monitor trends, identify deviations, and implement corrective actions to maintain product consistency and improve manufacturing processes.

Process Flow

1️⃣ Data Collection & Compilation – Gather batch records, stability studies, deviations, complaints, and analytical results.
2️⃣ Trend Analysis – Identify quality trends in manufacturing, testing, and raw material performance.
3️⃣ Root Cause Analysis – Investigate deviations, out-of-specification (OOS) results, and customer complaints.
4️⃣ Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) – Implement solutions to resolve quality issues and prevent recurrence.
5️⃣ Regulatory Documentation & Review – Compile findings into an APQR report for audits and compliance verification.
6️⃣ Continuous Improvement – Optimize manufacturing processes based on data-driven insights.
