🚨 Pharma Professionals, Are Your Excipients Secretly Sabotaging Drug Safety? 💊 Nitrosamines are more than just a regulatory buzzword—they’re a persistent threat to drug product safety. And the culprit? Often it's excipients with hidden nitrite levels. 🧪 To inhibit the nitrosamines formation reaction, you either: 1. Control the reaction itself by pH modification or adding antioxidants 2. Limit one of the two reactants: amines or nitrites 👉 Here, we’ll focus on the “nitrite” part—especially the hidden levels in excipients. In this quick carousel, I break down: ✅ The real nitrosamine risk behind "safe" excipients ✅ Why low-nitrite excipient grades matter now more than ever ✅ Leading suppliers offering compliant solutions ✅ Smart questions every manufacturer should be asking their suppliers 🔍 “You can check it yourself.” 📲 Swipe through the slides to learn how to future-proof your formulations. 👉 If you’re working in formulation, QA/QC, or regulatory affairs—this is a must-read. ✋Do you know other suppliers/ brands which are nitrite-controlled? Please mention them in the comments to update the list so that all of us get full benefits of alternatives of high quality🦾 📢 Tag a colleague who should see this, and share if you found it useful.
