An Adequate Pharmaceutical Quality System for Personalized Preparation.

Area of Science:

• Pharmaceutical Sciences
• Quality Assurance
• Compounding Pharmacy

Background:

• Pharmacy compounding of personalized preparations has significantly evolved, necessitating changes in work practices and legal frameworks.
• Existing pharmaceutical quality systems for industrial medicines are inadequate for personalized preparations due to differences in scale, complexity, and application.
• Current legislation requires updates to address the specific needs and deficiencies in the field of personalized preparations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze the limitations of current pharmaceutical quality systems for personalized preparations.
• To propose a novel method, the Personalized Preparation Quality Assurance Program (PACMI), to overcome these limitations.
• To enhance the quality and safety of personalized preparations for improved patient health outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of limitations in existing pharmaceutical quality systems for personalized preparations.
• Development and proposal of the Personalized Preparation Quality Assurance Program (PACMI).
• Integration of risk management tools within the PACMI framework to ensure quality for a heterogeneous service.

Main Results:

• PACMI expands the scope of sample testing and destructive analyses.
• The program allows for increased allocation of resources, facilities, and equipment.
• PACMI facilitates deeper understanding of products and processes, leading to quality improvements.

Conclusions:

• The proposed PACMI offers a robust solution to enhance the quality assurance of personalized pharmaceutical preparations.
• PACMI's approach, incorporating risk management, is crucial for guaranteeing the quality of this inherently variable service.
• Implementation of PACMI is expected to significantly improve overall quality and patient health.
