When people think of cleanrooms, they often picture sterile injectable medicines, with operators in full gowning working in Grade A or B environments. It is easy to assume that oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturing, with its tablets, capsules and powders, does not need the same level of rigour. After all, OSD products are not sterile. But the reality is that cleanroom controls in OSD facilities are just just as critical, though the risks and priorities look different. OSD Filli

When most people think about contamination control, they picture sterile manufacturing suites, isolators, and aseptic gowning. Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) plants, by contrast, often feel one step removed from the patient. After all, APIs undergo further formulation and sterilisation before becoming finished dosage forms. But regulators have made it abundantly clear: lapses in contamination control at the API stage can have direct, serious consequences for drug qual

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) form the foundation of quality and safety in regulated industries. They ensure that products are manufactured consistently, under controlled conditions, and according to standards that protect consumers. While GMP applies across sectors, it is especially critical in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics, where lapses can directly impact public health. At its core, GMP compliance requires more than meeting regulations, it represents a commitme
