New book on how medicinal products are brought to market
 The tests and processes undertaken to bring new medicines and medical devices to the market are the subject of a book published this week by the Pharmaceutical Press, the publications division of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
‘Development
and control of medicines and medical devices’, by Robin
Harman, has been revised and expanded from a series of articles published
over the past five years in The Pharmaceutical Journal. It describes
the work of the agencies involved in ensuring safety and quality of new
products and includes chapters on registration of products, clinical
studies and pharmacovigilance.
The Pharmaceutical Press says that, as a comprehensive single-volume
review, the new book will be of interest to students undertaking health
care studies, those working in the pharmaceutical and medical device
industries and all those working in government agencies involved in the
control of medicines and medical devices.
Robin Harman is a UK-based independent pharmaceutical and regulatory
consultant and is the author or editor of several other Pharmaceutical
Press books.
The new 272-page hardback book costs £50. Orders can be placed
with Pharmaceutical Press Customer Services (tel 01491 829272; fax 01491
