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:

• • Gather production, quality control, stability, and deviation data.

  • Compile batch records, change controls, and customer complaints.

    • Assess trends in critical quality attributes and process parameters.

    • Analyze deviations, CAPAs, and non-conformances.

      • Identify recurring issues and potential risks.

      • Evaluate compliance with specifications and regulatory requirements.

        • Recommend necessary changes to processes or formulations.

        • Implement corrective and preventive actions for quality enhancement.

          • Review findings by the Quality Assurance team and management.

          • Maintain comprehensive APQR reports for regulatory audits.
