# Forced degradation study in laboratory

## Your needs: to carry out a forced degradation study on a pharmaceutical product or on an active ingredient (API) within the framework of a pharmaceutical development

A forced degradation study or stress study is a [stability test](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/stability-testing-medications-and-active-ingredients.md) that simulates the evolution of the behavior of a [pharmaceutical product](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/laboratory-pharmaceutical-cosmetic-analysis.md) or an active ingredient (API).  The objective is to highlight the stability of a substance or drug over time and to observe the effects on its purity and compliance.

These forced degradation tests can be performed on active ingredients or on [finished products](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-nitrosamines/laboratory-analysis-biomedicine.md).

Are you looking for a reliable and responsive laboratory for your forced degradation studies?  Call on FILAB!
