Introduction to Production Procedure:
- Production Procedure involves precise compounding, dissolution, and pH adjustment under aseptic conditions to ensure sterility and stability.
- Production Procedure includes sterile filtration, filling, sealing, and terminal sterilization followed by stringent quality checks to ensure safety and compliance.
- The production of parenteral products involves several meticulously controlled steps to ensure safety, efficacy, and sterility:
Steps Involved are:
- Formulation Development: Based on preformulation studies, determining the appropriate vehicle, additives, and concentrations.
- Weighing and Mixing: Precise measurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, followed by thorough mixing to ensure homogeneity.
- Sterilization: Methods include:
- Heat Sterilization: Autoclaving, suitable for heat-stable products.
- Filtration: Using membrane filters (0.22 µm) for heat-sensitive solutions.
- Filling: Transferring the sterile solution into containers (vials, ampoules) under aseptic conditions.
- Sealing: Ensuring containers are securely sealed to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
- Lyophilization (if applicable): Freeze-drying the product to enhance stability, followed by sealing in a dry environment.
- Packaging: Final packaging with appropriate labeling and protection from environmental factors.
- Quality Control: Rigorous testing at each stage to ensure compliance with specifications
