Guidelines <strong>on</strong> Variati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>to</strong> a Registered Pharmaceutical Product7. Appendix 2: Changes <strong>to</strong> excipientsExcipientPercent excipient (w/w) out of <strong>to</strong>tal targetdosage form core weightFiller ±5.0Disintegrant• Starch• Other±3.0±1.0Binder ±0.5Lubricant• Ca or Mg Stearate• OtherGlidant• Talc• Other±0.25±1.0±1.0±0.1a) These percentages are based <strong>on</strong> the assumpti<strong>on</strong> that the API in theFPP is formulated <strong>to</strong> 100.0% of label/potency. The <strong>to</strong>tal additive effec<strong>to</strong>f all excipient changes should be not more than 5.0% relative <strong>to</strong> thetarget dosage form weight (e.g. in a <strong>product</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sisting of API, lac<strong>to</strong>se,microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate, the lac<strong>to</strong>se increasesby 2.5% and microcrystalline cellulose decreases by 2.5%).b) If an excipient serves multiple functi<strong>on</strong>s (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose asa filler and as a disintegrant), then the most c<strong>on</strong>servative recommendedrange should be applied (e.g. ±1.0% for microcrystalline cellulose shouldbe applied in this example). If a wider range is proposed, scientificjustificati<strong>on</strong> and supporting data should be provided <strong>to</strong> dem<strong>on</strong>strate thatthe wider range will not affect the other functi<strong>on</strong> of the excipient.Doc.
