Pharma Regulatory Services

Pharmaceuticals as an industry is rapidly growing across the globe. Being one of the crucial sector of life sciences it deals with innovating and developing lifesaving drugs. Aging population, increased income, changing lifestyles, and newly evolving chronic diseases are some of the few factors that leads to ever-rising importance of Pharmaceutical industry. These factors combined call for an improved medication which in turn leads to drug innovation.

Innovating a drug involves many critical phases. Right from identifying a lead compound in the process of drug discovery to ensuring the new drug is safe and effective for the end users, the process includes:

• Discovery and Development: Involves research and testing of molecular compounds and new technologies followed by developing a new drug in the laboratory

• Pre-clinical phase: Pre-clinical research is mainly conducted on microorganisms and animals for answering basic questions about its safety

• Clinical Research: Clinical research involves drug testing on people to ensure which further includes Phase I, II, III, and IV clinical trials

• Health Authority (HA) Review: HA review teams thoroughly examine the data submitted by manufacturers and decides to approve or reject the drug

Classification of drugs

• Innovator/brand-name drugs and generic drugsWhile an innovator drug, one that has a trade name, is protected by a patent and can be produced and sold by the company holding the patent, a generic drug is an equivalent to an innovator in terms of dosage, strength, route of administration, quality, performance and intended use and costs almost 30-80% lesser. When the patent protection for an innovator drug expires, generic versions of the drug can be offered for sale in consent with concerned health authorities.

• Prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) drugsWhile a prescription drug can be availed only when the pharmacist dispenses it on the order of a physician, physician assistant, or qualified nurse, an OTC can be ordered by the consumers themselves.
