Stability Study

Is identification test is required for stability study?

It's not mandatory for stability study as it is confirmed by Assay test.

What is the significant change in stability study?

In general, “significant change” for a drug product is defined as:

  1. A 5% change in assay from its initial value; or failure to meet the acceptance criteria for potency when using biological or immunological procedures;
  2. Any degradation product’s exceeding its acceptance criterion;
  3. Failure to meet the acceptance criteria for appearance, physical attributes, and functionality test (e.g., color, phase separation, resuspendibility, caking, hardness, dose delivery per actuation); however, some changes in physical attributes (e.g., softening of suppositories, melting of creams) may be expected under accelerated conditions; and, as appropriate for the dosage form:
  4. Failure to meet the acceptance criterion for pH; or
  5. Failure to meet the acceptance criteria for dissolution for 12 dosage units.
