Procedures and Requirements of GMP Certification of Pharmaceutical Drugs in the Philippines


According to the latest data, the population of the  Philippines has exceeded 100 million, and the demand for various types of medicine shows a steady increase. With the advancement of relations between China and the Philippines and collaborations in economy and trade, the Philippines has become a prime exporting country for Chinese pharmaceutical companies.
Before you can become eligible to set foot in the Filipino market, you have to become GMP certified for pharmaceutical drugs. Ddu, the leading global pharmaceutical & medical device products B2B online platform, will share some insight we have gained on the process of GMP certification for pharmaceutical drugs in the Philippines. (Keep in mind that the Philippines is a member of ASEAN but not of PIC/S). Here follows an outline of the procedures for GMP certification of pharmaceutical drugs in the Philippines.
The documents needed for FDA certification in the Philippines are as follows:
In addition to this, overseas production companies applying for GMP certification in the Philippines are required to perform inspections unless the documents submitted for GMP certification are deemed to be absolutely complete. If the production company has a GMP certificate from a PIC/S member country or WHO prequalification, they can also apply for exemption from factory inspection. This does however depend on the characteristics of the specific product and the integrity of the documents.
The time for overseas inspections is decided by the number of auditing officials and their workload. The Philippine FDA usually accumulates a large number of applications for overseas inspections in order to perform inspections on multiple factories in the same area. Normally, a GMP audit for a production company includes document reviews and on-site inspections for production, which takes approximately three days and is conducted by two to three officials. (Reference standard: GMP requirements for PIC/S members). If the APIs and the drugs are produced separately in different plants, both will be subject to inspection, thus the time will be extended accordingly.
Ddu, the leading global pharmaceutical & medical device products B2B online platform, has learnt that the Philippine FDA resumed overseas inspections in May 2017 after they were suspended in November 2016. Currently only inspections of oral formulations are available and applications for inspection of products with recertification will be given priority. Moreover, inspection of injections of biological agents (including vaccines) are on the way.

The future of lung function tests for COPD

Spirometry  (measuring lung function) is the most well know  pulmonary function test  and vital to diagnose  COPD . Some of the diseases which can be detected are: 1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – main term used to describe lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc. 2. Asthma – common and long-term lung disease characterised by coughing, shortness of breath or wheezing. 3.

Emphysema – long-term progressive disease where alveoli in the lungs become inflamed causing shortness of breath. 5. Cystic fibrosis – genetic lung disease characterised by frequent lung infections and coughing up mucus as a result of this. 6. Pulmonary fibrosis - interstitial lungdiseases resulting in the

Valerie Stull, a doctoral graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies published the results of her study on the benefits of consuming crickets on gut bacteria in the journal  Scientific Reports.  It is not only safe at high doses but may also reduce inflammation in the body Valerie Stull said that she was 12 when she ate her first insect. She said,  “I was on a trip with my parents in Central America and we were served fried ants; I remember being so grossed out initially, but when I put the ant in my mouth, I was really surprised because it tasted like food — and it was good!” Stull further added,  “There is a lot of interest right now in edible insects; It’s gaining traction in Europe and in the U.S. as a sustainable, environmentally friendly protein source compared to traditional livestock.” Tiffany Weir, the co-corresponding author and a professor of food science and human nutrition at Colorado State University said,  “Thi

In recent years, the cross-border medical trade in China has seen rapid development, however due to certain factors such as lack of integrity, time lags and remote regions, it has been difficult for buyers and suppliers to determine the quality of the trade which could lead to contract fraud, counterfeit and inferior goods as well as payment delinquencies and false transaction. To tackle these problems, a signing ceremony for strategic cooperation on credit verification will be held by Ddu and SGS-CSTC to officially launch the project. Yuan Shimin, CEO of Ddu, together with high priority members across the country, will gather to
