Drug Quality Study (DQS)
As human spaceflight expands, flight crews must have safe and effective drugs for long-duration spaceflight. In the past, crews have relied upon frequent resupply of onboard pharmaceuticals and as a result, there has been little study of the effects of long-term exposure of pharmaceuticals to the space environment. A few studies of long-term effects of space radiation on drug stability have shown that a significant number of drugs degrade. Studies during the COVID-19 pandemic have shown that drug quality can be an issue even for pharmaceuticals that remain on Earth. CIC Pharmaceutical Sciences presents these Drug Quality Studies to help scientists focus on the problem.
