FAQ:
1. What is the difference between parenteral and non-parenteral dosage forms?
Answer:
Parenteral dosage forms are sterile products administered by injection (intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous).
Non-parenteral dosage forms include oral, topical, or inhalation routes.
Parenterals require aseptic manufacturing conditions to prevent microbial contamination.
2. What are the critical parameters in aseptic area monitoring?
Answer:
Temperature: 18–25°C
Relative Humidity: 40–60%
Differential Pressure: Minimum 10–15 Pascal
Viable & Non-viable particle count
Air changes per hour (ACH): 20 or more depending on the grade
Regular environmental monitoring ensures sterility compliance.
3. What are the cleanroom classifications used in parenteral manufacturing?
Answer:
Grade A: Aseptic filling zone (Laminar Air Flow area)
Grade B: Background for aseptic preparation
Grade C & D: Less critical stages like preparation and washing
Based on EU GMP and WHO TRS 961 guidelines.
4. Explain the ampoule filling and sealing process.
Answer:
Washing & Depyrogenation of ampoules
Filling under Laminar Air Flow using peristaltic or piston pumps
Sealing by flame fusion method
100% visual inspection for defects
Sterilization/Terminal sterilization if required
5. What is the purpose of media fill validation?
Answer:
Media fill (aseptic process simulation) checks the aseptic integrity of the process, personnel, and environment.
Instead of product, a nutrient medium is filled.
After incubation, the filled units are checked for microbial growth.
Zero growth = Successful validation.
6. What are the types of sterilization used in parenteral manufacturing?
Answer:
Steam sterilization (Autoclaving): 121°C for 15–30 minutes
Dry heat sterilization: 160–180°C for 2 hours
Filtration sterilization: Through 0.22 µm filter
Gas sterilization (Ethylene oxide): For heat-sensitive materials
Selection depends on the nature of the product and container.
