ABSTRACT
@#Pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, an important part in pharmaceutical excipients, are widely used in pharmaceutical preparations.However, compared with the pharmaceutical excipients of other origins, pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin have more special requirements in many aspects, such as raw materials, production, quality control, storage, supervision, etc.Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 first included the Guideline for Pharmaceutical Excipients of Animal Origin, which introduces the basic ideas and technical requirements for the life cycle quality control of pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin based on the risk management concept.This article illustrates the specificity of the pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, and interprets the main contents of this guideline in conjunction with relevant domestic and foreign regulations and technical documents, thereby providing comprehensive reference for the implementation of the guideline.
