IPEC has developed various concepts for Total Excipient Control (TEC)to help provide guidance to makers, users and distributors of excipients. TEC covers the controls needed from the time an excipient manufacturer thinks of marketing a chemical as an excipient to the pharmaceutical industry to the time the patient takes the drug product containing the excipient. Excipient regulations, guides, policies, position papers, white papers - This webinar will show you how it all fits together! Total Excipient Control (TEC) is the culmination of three decades of IPEC efforts - a "systems approach" to excipient design, safety, manufacturing, and distribution.
