About PDA

PDA (Parenteral Drug Association) is a non-profit professional/technical association whose mission is education and technical information exchange focused on, but not limited to, the art and science of sterile products manufacturing.

PDA is the recognized authoritative voice and leading technical organization in the field of parenteral science and technology. Through the development of technical reports, bulletins and responses to regulatory initiatives, PDA and its members influence the future course of pharmaceutical products technology.

With more than 7,800 individual and 250 corporate members worldwide, PDA draws its strength from the technical expertise of its membership. Conferences, meetings and open forums bring together pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers, users, academics and regulatory officials to discuss issues of mutual interest. These exchanges of technical knowledge and expertise assist the advancement of pharmaceutical science and technology in the interest of public health.

PDA was founded in 1946 by a small group of pharmaceutical manufacturers who recognized the need for an organization to disseminate technical information within the industry. Today, coordinated through its headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland -- just outside Washington, D.C. -- PDA volunteers worldwide carry out its mission of promoting the exchange of rapidly evolving information on the latest technology and regulations concerning high-quality pharmaceutical production.
