Question
QUESTION: Respected sir

please send me a map of ideal ware house for pharmaceutical industry , where we could store raw materials , packing materials and Finished goods according to cGMP or WHO.

Thanx

M Irfan Ahmed

ANSWER: There is no such thing as the "ideal" warehouse, as it depends on your product needs (degree of refrigeration or cooling); and your volumes of raw materials (solids, liquids, chemicals, packaging) and finished products being handled.

At its most basic, you need separate raw materials and finished goods warehouses. And within each of these, you need separate areas for quarantined, released and rejected materials.

QUESTION: how much pressure or reading should be displayed on manometers, in cephalosporin or active pharmaceutical raw materials store.

Answer
Why do you need to read pressure in warehouses? The key issue is temperature.

If you are trying to keep a cephalosporin warehouse at negative pressure to the outside world, then of course you need to monitor pressure (typically at a 15-pascal difference to the outside), but this does not make sense. Much better is to assure that your cephalosporin containers are suitably sealed to prevent cross-contamination.
