Pharmaceutical Quality by Design (QbD)

Pharmaceutical Quality by Design (QbD) is a structured approach to developing medicines with consistent quality. It involves understanding and controlling the manufacturing process through scientific knowledge, ensuring the final product meets safety and effectiveness standards. By identifying key factors that influence quality early on, QbD helps reduce risks, improve efficiency, and ensure reliable production. In essence, it’s about designing a process with quality built into every step, rather than relying solely on testing final products.
