FDA’s Approves pharmaceutical formulation intermediate (PFI)
A company in India know as Granules India has come up with the concept of making a pharmaceutical formulated intermediate (PFI) for use in generic drugs.
FDA’s thumbs up to PFI reverberates through outsourcing industry:
Currently generic manufacturers may outsource the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and use this to make a formulation such as a pill or capsule. Basically, PFI would be a mixture of the API and excipients and be ready for directly feeding into hoppers for compression into pills or filling of capsules. This concept has created a stir in the outsourcing pharmaceutical industry. This is an area I’m definitely keeping an eye on in the future.
