What is the stability situation?

We’ve just been informed by our planning group that they are not filling 100ct bottles this year since the 2022 volumes were increased to meet the 2023 demand. Several more 500ct batches are scheduled this year, but our commitment plainly requires 100ct, and in any case, we need to support the 2022 100ct batches at the very least.

How should this be resolved?

At least three options are available to us, so please indicate which you would recommend and why.

1. Have the packaging line execute a special stability run of 100ct. bottles this year. 2. Pull a 2022 100ct batch from the warehouse, which, although nearly a year beyond packaging would be placed on stability. We’d skip the 2023 annual batch and explain in our annual report. 3. Place a batch of 500ct bottles on for 2023 and notify the agency via the annual report that 100 ct. bottles will be placed on in the next year they’re packaged (probably 2024).

We’re happy to hear other suggestions!

    Packaging is being changed late in development while also trying to shortcut around quality checks and balances that Stability is intended for. How does a quality representative explain to upper management the risk they are taking on?
