ABSTRACT:
Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA)is a concept within Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). CAPA focuses on the systematic investigation of discrepancies (failures and/or deviations) in an attempt to prevent their recurrence. To ensure that corrective and preventive actions are effective, the systematic investigation of the failure incidence is pivotal in identifying the corrective and preventive actions undertaken. CAPA is part of the overall quality management system.CAPA is of paramount importance to the FDA. According to FDA documents CAPA accounts for 30-50% of FDA-483 forms issued for non compliance.

ABSTRACT
Ethanolic extract of the roots of Zizyphus oenoplia were screened for its anthelmintic activity against Pheretima posthuma. The parameters like the time of paralysis and the time of death were determined by using the extract at the concentrations of 10, 20and 50 mg/ml. The extract exhibited significant anthelmintic activity at highest concentration of 50 mg/ml. Albendazole (20mg/ml) was used as standard reference and distilled water as control.
