QC & QA: Quality control and Quality assurance

Quality control (QC) ensures that pharmaceutical products meet established quality standards throughout the manufacturing process. It involves testing raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products for purity, potency, and safety. Quality assurance (QA) encompasses the overall system of processes and procedures to maintain product quality and compliance with regulatory requirements. QA includes establishing quality management systems, conducting audits, and implementing corrective actions to prevent quality issues.
