Abstract
Stability is one of the key determinant in assessing the quality, safety and efficacy of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) or Finished Pharma ceutical Product (FPP). Stability issues in a pharmaceutical products could result in physical, chemical changes in the finished products. Such degraded products could lead to treatment inefficiency, development of mild to severe adverse reactions in consumer, monetary loss and regula tory noncompliance. The stability of any API or FPP could be influenced by temperature, humidity, direct sun light, changes in storage conditions, frequency of single unit dispensing from bulk package, and other radia tion related factors.
Keywords: Pharmaceutical stability; Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient; Finished Product
