We are often unaware of the technology behind products accessible on any pharmacy shelf. In the case of medicines, it is not just the years for the discovery of an active ingredient, the choice of raw materials or the distribution of pill packs at points of sale that compose the development roadmap. To ensure the expected quality of each capsule, so that it fulfills its function, the drug route includes clean rooms.
These environments have very peculiar characteristics, especially regarding sterility and isolation. Clean rooms must meet access parameters, air control, pressure, temperature and humidity, so as not to modify the structure or interfere with the chemical composition of the manufactured product and to maintain the integrity of the materials handled, free from pathogens and the proliferation of microorganisms.
The hygienic rigor of clean rooms preserves the physical-chemical characteristics of the raw materials, safeguarding their microbiological qualities, texture, color and consistency.
The controls are exhaustive and meet good manufacturing practices, meeting the requirements of the health authorities and ensuring the effectiveness and safety of medicines according to their specifications.
This technological sophistication, which complies with Anvisa's regulatory standards - the body that regulates the pharmaceutical industry and the production of medicines in Brazil - benefits the professionals involved in the production process, the industry for the gain in efficiency and agility, removing the potential risk to the public health and, mainly, the consumer, for the certainty that they will have at their disposal reliable medicines with excellent quality.
