The Importance of Nitrosamine Testing

Nitrosamines are classified as probable human carcinogens, and their presence in pharmaceutical products poses significant health risks. Since the discovery of nitrosamine impurities such as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in various medicinal products in 2018, rigorous testing has become critical in ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance.
Pharmadox Healthcare provides comprehensive nitrosamine testing services, helping pharmaceutical companies safeguard their products and protect patient health.
Detecting harmful impurities to ensure product safety.
Nitrosamine impurities, including NDMA, have been found in several commonly used pharmaceutical products, leading to recalls and regulatory action. Due to their potential carcinogenic effects, detecting and controlling nitrosamines is essential. These impurities can be difficult to identify, which is why a robust nitrosamine testing method is crucial. Pharmadox Healthcare’s nitrosamine testing services ensure that your pharmaceutical products meet regulatory standards, protecting patients from unintended exposure to harmful substances.
