cGMPs – Important Considerations of HPUS and CFR

Homeopathic manufacturing sites ranked lowest on FDA’s 2019 Site Inspection Scores (SIS). Our industry was rated at 6.5 versus an average across all application types of 7.4. Although the score was affected by many first-time inspections, the industry has work to do.
Learn directly from two former FDA inspectors during this four-hour cGMP seminar. The event will help homeopathic manufacturers prepare for FDA enforcement by facilitating an understanding of compliance requirements from both the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

What You'll Learn:

An overview and examples of inspection enforcement.
Requirements for registration, drug listing, and mandatory updates.
How to design an effective Adverse Events Reporting program.
Techniques and practices to provide compliance with manufacturing, packaging, holding, and distribution regulations.
