Nitrosamine Impurities
In April 2020, the FDA requested all ranitidine products be withdrawn from the US market after preliminary results from stability testing raised concerns that levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in some products stored at room temperature could increase with time to unacceptable levels.
Further testing showed nitrosamine impurities in other drug products such as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), nizatidine, and metformin. This revelation has created an urgent need for risk assessment, remediation, and new regulatory submissions for all nitrosamine-containing drugs.
Manufacturers are responsible for understanding their processes, which includes preventing the presence of unacceptable impurities. Pharma companies are also responsible for developing and using suitable methods to detect and limit unacceptable impurities, including those that may arise when making changes to the manufacturing processes.
Assessment,
Compliance, and Improvement
What is the best course of action to assess your risk? Some manufacturers have already had their drugs recalled while others have done so on their own as a precaution.
How will you comply with evolving FDA regulations? As more nitrosamine data is revealed, agencies worldwide will set their own regulations to which you must comply.
Once your plan is outlined, how will you improve manufacturing capabilities, not only for compliance, but to ensure an expeditious return to market?
