GMP Tips - Make GMP Personal Part 3 - Oct 20, 2008

David Markovitz, President of GMP Training Systems, Inc., here with a Thank You for the work you do. Here's our story.

Two weeks ago my wife's ear lobes got infected from a new pair of earrings. (Maybe they were manufactured in China.) She went to the Doc and got a prescription for an antibiotic. A few days later the infection spread to her left eye. An antibiotic eye drop was then prescribed. A few days after that the entire side of her face swelled up within hours. An emergency visit to her Doc got her admitted to the hospital where she spent two days and received antibiotics via IV line. (The last time she was hospitalized was 26 years ago when our daughter was born.) The antibiotics worked like magic and she was released on Oct 18 and looks about 95% back to normal today (Oct 20).

Yes, what we do is very personal. So thanks go out from our family to those who manufacture drug products and medical device products and follow GMP every day.

GMP Tips - Ranbaxy's Continuing Woes, and What We Can Learn from Them - Oct 14, 2008

You may have been watching the continuing saga of one of the worlds largest providers of generic drugs, Ranbaxy Laboratories, based in India, and their problems meeting US FDA’s GMP requirements. FDA has been in discussions with Ranbaxy Laboratories for several months concerning two facilities. After much discussion and what it deemed inadequate responses from the drugmaker, the FDA decided to issue the two Warning Letters and to encourage the confiscation of products coming from the two facilities into the United States.

Read the two Warning Letters. Also read an article from Forbes and a news account from a publication in India. Go to:

Click on Timely Resources Articles and scroll down.

GMP Training Tip
Use information from these Warning Letters to make your GMP training sessions come alive and relevant. Learning from OPE, Other People's Experience, is a good and easy way to keep your company in a healthy compliance mode.
