Worldwide regulations and legislation; their effects on pharmaceutical product development
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 1978; 4:(1):1-30


Abstract:

Worldwide regulations and legislation and their effects on pharmaceutical product development are discussed. The pharmacy industry is now regulated in more than 90 countries around the world. Although the regulations all aim at proper development, testing and manufacture, they vary in each country and change from year to year. Since research and development is the area most costly to the industry, where and what type research is performed are two of the main concerns to the industry. Organizations like the European Economic Community, European Free Trade Area and the World Health Organization are striving to incorporate norms and protocol involving introduction of new drugs in order to reduce time in drug registration. Various requirements, by major countries, for drug registration, including prescription as well as O-T-C, cosmetic and veterinary products are presented The results of this legislation will eventually streamline the efforts of the world community to provide safe, efficient drug products. The future for the pharmaceutic industry is therefore largely dependent on productivity of research and development and the ability to interact favorably with regulatory agencies.
