ANALYSIS OF FACTORS OF INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL CONTROL OF HERBAL MEDICINES USING INFORMATION AND MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Information and measurement technologies play an important role in ensuring the technological control of herbal medicines. Thanks to modern information and measurement technologies, it is possible to effectively measure and analyze various parameters that affect the quality and efficacy of medicinal products. These technologies include chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and others. These methods allow for control of the quality of raw materials, production, and quality of the finished product. The article substantiates the scientific basis of theoretical and practical approaches to ensuring the quality of medicinal products and their testing in the conditions of Ukrainian pharmaceutical enterprises. The scientific standardization of drug development and the methodological approach, including the choice of indicators and their values that characterize the overall quality of the drug, as well as theoretical and experimental substantiation of the composition of medicinal raw materials, are considered. Technological control of herbal medicines is a key element in ensuring their quality, safety, and efficacy. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the main factors affecting this process. In particular, the role of raw material quality, the importance of technological processes, the use of modern analytical methods with the use of information and measurement technologies, and the need to comply with regulatory requirements are considered. Particular attention is paid to the metrological support scheme, which includes working measuring instruments, certification and verification, means of verification, and standards. Metrological support, which includes the establishment of tolerances, development of measurement methods, and analysis of design documentation, is necessary to maintain high-quality standards in the production of herbal medicines. The analysis of these factors helps to improve the efficiency of technological control, which contributes to the creation of safe and effective medicines.
