    Hi 

    According to ICH Q3B impurity threshold in a drug product is calculated based on the maximum amount of drug substance administered daily. Is the amount of substance for that particular product at a particular strength, particular route of administration or the maximum daily intake from any dose form or route of administration? 
    For example, suppose I have a 0.4% eye drop solution that is also available as a 4% eye drop solution and a 10 mg tablet. What is the maximum daily dose for the calculation of the impurity threshold? 

    Thank you 

    Zara

    The threshold would be specific to each dosage form.
