Regulatory information:
Elemental Impurities:
Heavy metal parameters of this specification were acc. ICH guideline Q3D for elemental contaminants based on a product-related risk assessment. The risk assessment was carried out considering option 1 (max. Daily dose 10 g/d) for oral use.
Other elements are not knowingly added. The specification includes monograph-specific element contaminants. These will continue to be considered in the specification according to the monograph specification.
Unless otherwise specified, the presence of Class 1-3 elements (classification according to ICH Q3D) above the Q3D Option 1 limit is unlikely according to a review.
