Medication Purity

Meaning

Medication Purity is a pharmaceutical quality attribute defining the extent to which a drug substance or drug product is free from foreign matter, including chemical impurities, residual solvents, or microbial contaminants. High purity is a non-negotiable requirement in compounding and manufacturing, directly ensuring the drug’s safety, identity, strength, and efficacy as intended for clinical use. Deviation from established purity standards can lead to unpredictable pharmacological effects or adverse patient reactions.
