Introduction
In the pharmaceutical industry, quality isn’t a one-time event—it’s a continuous process. An Annual Product Quality Review (APQR) is a regulatory-mandated activity that evaluates the consistency and performance of drug products over time. It helps ensure that each product maintains its intended quality throughout its lifecycle.
What Is APQR?
APQR involves a comprehensive, yearly review of manufacturing and control data associated with a particular product. It is required by regulatory bodies like the USFDA (21 CFR Part 211.180(e)) and EMA (EU GMP Chapter 1), and is a key element of a robust Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS).
