MARCH 202319equipment or facilities involved in development of complex generics. This will serve as a major boost for companies to offer non-compromised healthcare service to needy patient. Impetus offered to Generic Drug manufacturer will make them put extra efforts for its development to reduce healthcare cost of any particular complex drug product.Please elaborate on how innovations in excipients as well as advances in processing and manufacturing technologies are impacting formulation developmentInnovations in excipients offer advantages mainly with respect to manufacturing process of pharmaceutical dosage forms. It gives liberty to make lesser number of processing steps. Advancement in processing technology is targeted to have stringent control over critical processing parameters. Tangential & Top Spray Granulation, Hot Melt extrusion Technology, Continuous Coating are the few recent advancements in manufacturing processing technology. Innovations also allow making the manufacturing process shorter and simpler which is ultimately helping the formulation development activity in way to minimize focus areas. In present scenario, the advanced innovations in excipient manufacturing takes care of traces of impurities such as peroxides, nitrosamines, heavy metals, and so on, which are required to be controlled in excipients to achieve a quality pharmaceutical products. Overall effect of excipients innovationsand advancement in process technology is helping formulation development to focus on much needed attributeof product as efficacy and stability.Pharmaceutical companies use third parties to share data with collaborators, making data management a crucial area of focus. Please elaborate on how the advancement in analytical techniques is also turning historical and real-time data available with pharmaceutical companies into valuable assets for predictive, diagnostic, prescriptive, and descriptive analytics.Historical and real time data processing helps to identify root cause of any deviation of process, specifications etc. A cross reference/comparison of real time data to relevant historical data helps to zero down to probable root cause of any problem. The historical data can serve as a standard reference to any real time issue. This serves the diagnostic requirement. Analysis of any data can indicate the behavioral trend of any object in a particular environment. This can form a basis of prediction of performance of any object in futuristic situation. Apart from that, to keep the situation within predetermined controlled performance space, the analysis of any historical data can form basis for prescriptive purpose. The descriptive analytics of presenting the historical and real time data in more easily conceivable form always helps to take fast, effective and efficient decision.One should also keep in mind that the data gathered, may need to be protected for its access and reuse because such
