Why Science? | ICH M5, IDMP and Medicinal Product Identification Data

A brand name can be reused or translated, while the same active substance can appear in different strengths, dose forms, manufacturers and markets. Reliable identification therefore needs structured attributes and relationships rather than text matching alone.

The detective work in medicinal-product identity is a relationship, not one label begins by asking what kind of thing a code identifies. A brand name can be reused or translated, while the same active substance can appear in different strengths, dose forms, manufacturers and markets. Reliable identification therefore needs structured attributes and relationships rather than text matching alone. Keep this boundary visible: The 2005 M5 document remained draft and should not be presented as a final ICH guideline.

A strong science note separates observation from interpretation. Trace medicinal-product identity is a relationship, not one label from the source label through substances, strength, dose form, route, pack and the relevant identifier. Record the source, version or date, population or device context, method, result and one uncertainty. If the official record does not show a field, write “not shown” instead of filling the gap from memory.
