CQAs (Critical Quality Attributes)

Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) are the specific properties or characteristics of a medication or product that must be maintained within certain limits to ensure it is safe, effective, and of high quality. Think of CQAs as the key features that guarantee a product does what it's supposed to do without causing harm. For example, in a pill, CQAs might include its strength, purity, and how fast it dissolves. Monitoring and controlling these attributes during manufacturing helps ensure each product batch meets the required standards.
