Verapharma quality organization is functionally independent from manufacturing operations, safeguarding unbiased quality decisions. In addition to local quality units, we have a global quality organization that provides governance and guidance to the local quality units, and partners with all relevant functions across the organization to foster a culture in which quality is affirmed as a business enabler and a source of competitive advantage.

Our GMP manufacturing sites operate in compliance with applicable regulations, local laws and international guidelines adopted by the various Health Authorities.

Compliance at Verapharma is continuously monitored through regulatory inspections conducted by Health Authorities, including FDA and MHRA, quality system audits conducted by our customers, as well as our internal quality audit program.

Polymorph, Salt & Cocrystal Screening

 Selecting the optimal solid form of an API during early drug development can mitigate the risk of failure later in development. This can be achieved through polymorph, salt and cocrystal screening. Polymorph screening  aims to identify all relevant forms of an API, investigate their properties and choose the optimal crystalline form. Polymorphism control is exceptionally important and conducting these screens can help prevent the appearance of new forms in the latter stages of development. We focus on establishing the interconversions between forms, the relative stability of forms and understanding the monotropic or enantiotropic relationship between polymorphs when required. Polymorph screening is a regulatory requirement whether a salt, cocrystal or free form compound is chosen for development. Salt screening  is an approach to quickly identify and assess the salt forms of an API. This allows drug developers to modify the physical properties of an API while preserving ...
