Manufacturing

How our medicines are made

The route each dosage form takes through the plant, and the tests a batch must pass before it is released.

One GMP certificate
All five production sections operate under one DRAP GMP certificate.
Segregated section
Cephalosporins are made only in a physically separate section with its own air handling.
Batch release
Every batch is tested by QC and released with a Certificate of Analysis.
Management systems
ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified.

01
Dispensing
Each raw material is released by QC, then weighed for the batch under a second person's check.
02
Granulation
The active ingredient and excipients are mixed and granulated so the powder flows and compresses evenly.
03
Drying and sizing
Granules are dried to a set moisture limit and milled to a uniform size.
04
Blending
Lubricant is added and the blend is mixed until the active ingredient is evenly spread through it.
05
Compression
The press forms each tablet to a set weight, hardness and thickness, checked at intervals through the run.
06
Coating
Coated tablets receive a film or sugar coat in a coating pan; uncoated and chewable tablets skip this step.
07
Packing
Tablets are sealed into blister strips, which are coded with the batch number and expiry date.
