Current Approaches to the Abnormal Toxicity Test by N. P. Neugodova, E. O. Stepanyuk, G. A. Sapozhnikova, E. I. Sakanyan, M. S. Ryabtseva

“…This test makes it possible to detect abnormal (high) toxicity of a medicinal product which may be associated with degradation products or undesirable impurities resulting from changes of the production technology, which are not mentioned in specification documents related to production, transportation, and storage. In 2016—2017 12 batches of veterinary products, including vaccines and sera, were found to be noncompliant, and the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare rejected 16 batches of medicinal products in 2016—2019. …”
