Applications of Various Software in Pharmaceuticals: A Review

Abstract

To address issues with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), production, documentation, regulatory body requirements (US, FDA, WHO, EU-GMP, PICS), product quality, and other issues, the pharmaceutical industry as a whole needed a variety of creative and scientific solutions. One key tool in addressing these issues is computer system software, which monitors and upholds current industry practices. Installing such software will assist the pharmaceutical sector in meeting regulatory body standards and enhancing its cGMP processes. The pharmaceutical industry’s recent advancements have increased the complexity of products and data. In the pharmaceutical sector, several elements are considered simultaneously. As a result, several complex software applications are used today to control these factors. Software is a group of programs that define the tasks that a computer must perform. It is made up of a series of programming language-written, computer-interpreted code. It thus makes our jobs easier by maintaining all the records, doing all the necessary computations, and much more. The pharmaceutical industry uses a broad variety of software since the tasks that need to be accomplished are equally varied. Regulatory compliance management, quality control test results management, marketing and sales campaign data handling, record-keeping for a batch of tablets in the manufacturing industry, etc. An overview of the many software categories utilized in the pharmaceutical sector is provided in this article. It also discusses their significance and needs in the pharmaceutical sector. It also discusses the significance of software utilized in the pharmaceutical sector.
