GELATIN MASS PREPARATION:


 Ø  The Shell of the Soft Gelatin Capsules comprises of pure Pharmaceutical grade Gelatin, a plasticizer (usually Glycerin), and other ingredients.
 Ø  Gelatin Shell raw Materials are accurately weighed and then lended with demineralized water and melted under vacuum in large stainless steel pressure tanks.
 Ø  Completed batches are then transferred to the production lines in heat controlled receiving tanks in which the gelatin mass s maintained at the            required temperature and viscosity. 



MEDICAMENT PREPARATION:


 Ø  Precise Weighments, Mixing, Homogenizing.De-aeration, sieving and preservation in accordance with the CGMP standards.
 Ø  The quality assured medicament/fill material is hand released for the encapsulation process.
 Ø  The medicine preparation area has a standard range of mixers, homogenizers and milling equipment or the preparation of the fills.
 Ø  For simple oils the material is decanted into a 200 kg Mobile vessel, positioned on a floor scale, blanketed with Nitrogen, if required, and then sealed ready for the next stage of the process. 


Ø  Blends of oils follow a similar process but a Silverson mixer is used to ensure a uniform mix is achieved.
Ø  Multi ingredient suspension products are prepared by weighing out each individual ingredient and placing them in intermediate containers.
Ø  The excipient, materials used for the suspension process, are weighed and delivered to the homogenizing unit where heat is applied to melt the fats and waxes.
Ø  Once in a molten form the actives are then added in the order dictated by the batch documentation.
Ø  The unit is closed and a vacuum applied to ensure no air gets into the fill material, and then a homogenizer is used to ensure a homogenous mix is achieved.
           After the mixing has taken place the fill is then milled and deaerated to ensure a smooth and 
                 fiber free mix and decanted into mobile medicine tanks.

2. Extensive literature survey:

Image
Once the problem is formulated, a brief summary of it should be written down. It is compulsory for a research worker writing a thesis for a Ph.D. degree to write a synopsis of the topic and submit it to the necessary Committee or the Research Board for approval.   At this juncture the researcher should undertake extensive literature survey connected with the problem. For this purpose, the abstracting and indexing journals and published or unpublished bibliographies are the first place to go to. Academic journals, conference proceedings, government reports, books etc., must be tapped depending on the nature of the problem. In this process, it should be remembered that one source will lead to another. The earlier studies, if any, which are similar to the study in hand, should be carefully studied. A good library will be a great help to the researcher at this stage.

PREPARATION OF HOSPITAL FORMULARY

Image
PREPARATION OF FORMULARY ·          Formulation is an essential part of hospital pharmacy. ·          It has been a focal point for improving drug therapy in hospitals. ·          Effectiveness of formulary system depends on the abilities of the pharmacist involved with it. ·          Although the majority of formulary decisions are made by Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee but well planned system provides both structure and flexibility and encompasses both selection of drugs and criteria for drug use. ·          These special features allow for standardization to reduce errors, wastage and required personnel time. Advantage: ·          To discourage the use of “less than optimal drug therapy”, and ·     ...
