Pharma Logistics Glossary: QBD (Quality by Design)
Quality by Design (QBD) principles advance product and process quality in every industry. In medicine, QbD looks to define and then protect the quality of how drugs are discovered, developed, and commercially manufactured. Drug manufacturers need to evidence to regulatory authorities how medicinal products retain their quality over the claimed shelf life by performing stability studies with varied environmental variables ( temperature, humidity and in some cases exposure to light).
