This book provides a comprehensive insight into the process of generic drug product development, guiding readers through each critical phase from conceptualization to regulatory approval. Developed to align with academic curricula and industrial standards, the text serves as a valuable resource for pharmacy students, regulatory professionals, and formulation scientists. The content is systematically organized into five units, beginning with the historical background and legal framework of generic drug development, including a detailed discussion on the Hatch-Waxman Act and its implications. Subsequent chapters delve into the design and optimization of dosage forms to ensure therapeutic equivalence with reference listed drugs (RLDs), covering aspects such as formulation, process development, and packaging considerations. The book also emphasizes analytical method development for verification and validation at various stages—from raw material to finished dosage forms. It elaborates on stability testing protocols under various environmental conditions to determine product shelf life, and scale-up strategies for manufacturing and exhibit batch execution. A dedicated section is provided on bioequivalence study design, regulatory criteria, and in-vitro techniques used to demonstrate bioequivalence. Further, the book introduces the electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD), detailing its modular structure and significance in regulatory submissions. The final unit explores the drug approval process in both India and the United States, offering comparative insights for global regulatory compliance. Key Features: • Covers the complete lifecycle of generic drug development • Integrates formulation science, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs • Includes discussion on global regulatory systems with a focus on USFDA and CDSCO • Provides foundational knowledge and practical strategies for dossier preparation and submission This book equips readers with the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively contribute to the generic pharmaceutical industry, ensuring quality, efficacy, and regulatory compliance in drug development projects.
