Abstract
Quality risk management (QRM) is one of the most important tasks
when it comes to pharmaceutical industry.it is because the industry
produces medicines whose quality is directly related to the patient
health. International conference on harmonisation (ICH) has developed
various guidelines to protect the quality of medicines along with its
safety and efficacy QRS is currently approaching to be mandatory
practice in industries. ICH Q9 guideline can help industry start with its
risk management plan but its implementation and practice seems to be
challenging. There should be a risk management plan in place together
with QBD (quality by design) and PQS (pharmaceutical quality systems) to build quality in
the final product. Being a non-mandatory requirement till now. Industries hesitate to
implement the new Para diagram, Q8 Q9 and Q10, which will become a burden for industries
to meet the regulatory challenges. But it is important to understand that it is high time to
bring a challenge which is risk free. This article discusses the process of risk management to
achieve quality of medicinal product and tools which can be used for risk assessment during
manufacturing practices under taken but small or medium sized WHO approved plants.
Considering the higher incidences of product recalls, the implementation of Q9 together with
Q8 will help the Indian pharmaceutical companies to launch safer products in the market,
which intern benefits the industry and patient.
