Excipients Insight October 2017 - IPEC Europe

Our October edition of Excipients Insight is rather a bumper one! There’s a lot happening not least in the European regulatory environment, with seemingly many new revisions of legislation and guidance related to medicinal products. We all know how hard it is to keep track of everything and we very much hope that the updates in this month’s publication help you with that goal. This leads me nicely to mention the survey you’ll find in this edition. It’s one of our objectives this year to see how we can make Excipients Insight better - does it meet your current needs? And what of the future? In which direction would you like to see our primary communication tool progress? I know I’m always asking things of you but I hope that you can find time to take this short survey. It will really help us to set some targets so I thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.
