Introduction to Current Good Practice (CGXP)

The quality, efficacy, and safety of medicinal products are assured by employing guidelines appropriate for each stage of the manufacturing and distribution process. Current Good Practice (cGxP) is a set of such guidelines which have been put together by regulatory agencies such as WHO, EU, FDA, etc. This course helps participants understand the concept of cGxP, highlighting the advantage that it presents. You will also learn about non-compliance which is a major threat to the production of high-quality products. Finally, you get to see how regulatory bodies help to enforce these guidelines with inspections, audits, sanctions, and denial of marketing authorization.

In this course, we provide a synthesis of the topic through an interactive online experience. This material was built by a team of Regulatory Affairs Experts with a Qualification from Northeastern University, Boston, piloted by a Senior Member able to articulate theory with practice.
