4.0 MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS:

Pantoprazole Sodium API Description: A white to off white powder.

Domperidone API Description: A white or almost white powder.

All the manufacturing activities shall be performed under controlled conditions

(temperature NMT 25 0C and relative humidity NMT 50%).

When working with Active Ingredients and drug product or mixture of Active

Ingredients and Excipients, wear gloves and mask to avoid exposure and contact

with any body parts.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS:

All the Activity shall be performed as per current SOPs

Follow the GMP compliance throughout the manufacturing process.

Take the line clearance from QA before starting the manufacturing operation during

batch to batch and product to product change over.

Do not overwrite the entry, in case there is correction, cancel the entry by single line

with sign & date and make correct entry.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS DETAILS:

NOTE:  Use Sodium Lamp and Black Poly-bags at every Step.

Black Polybag (capacity : 5.0 kg)

Collect the sifted Calcium Stearate IP (2.000 kg) in one Black Polybag (capacity: 5.0 kg)

STEP – II (DRY MIXING): PART-I:

Transfer the sifted Pantoprazole Sodium IP (22.600 kg) and Mannitol IP (5.000 kg)

and Sodium Carbonate (6.500 kg) in Mass Mixer (capacity: 100 liter).

 (DRY MIXING): PART-II:

Transfer the sifted Domperidone IP (5.050 kg), MCCP-PH-102 IP (1.600 kg),

Crospovidone XL IP (3.000 kg) and Cross Carmillose Sodium IP (5.000 kg) in

Mass Mixer (capacity: 100 liter).

Mix together Part-I and Part-II of dry mixing material in Mass Mixer

(capacity: 100 liter) till uniform mixing.

Mixing Time: 10 minutes.

Mixing Speed: 36 RPM

Paddle (Blades) Timing & Direction: 5 minutes in clockwise direction &

5 minutes in anti-clockwise direction.

STEP – III (BINDER PREPARATION):

Take IPA (16.000 liter) in SS Container (capacity: 20 liter) and add PVPK-30 IP

(1.500 kg) and mix together with continuously stirring till dissolved properly in IPA.

Filter it with 100# filter cloth & store in SS Container (capacity: 20 liter).

STEP –IV (BINDING OF DRY MIX MATERIAL):

Slowly add the binder of Step-III in dry mix materials of Step-II and mix for

10 minutes till uniform binding and after binding, collect the wet mass into

seventeen Trays (capacity: 3.000 kg each).

Mixing Time: 10 minutes

Mixing Speed: 36 RPM

STEP –V (DRYING):

Dry the wet mass of Step -IV as follows:

First airs dry the granules for 30 minutes in Tray Dryer. Ensure that heaters are

in OFF mode. After air drying, Switch ON the heaters of Tray Dryer and set the

temperature at 35oC in Tray Dryer and dry the granules until the LOD of granules

is between 1.0 to 1.5% at 105oC checked by Halogen Moisture Balance.

Drying Time: 4 to 5 Hours.

Drying Temperature: 350C

Raking Frequency: After every 15 minutes

STEP-VI (SIZING/MILLING):

Check Screen Integrity (before sifting and after sifting).

Milled the dried material of Step -V through Multi Mill using screen size 1.5 mm

and  collect milled material in two Poly-lined HDPE Containers (capacity :30 liter each )

and weight and record the milled granules weight.

Blade Type: Both (Knife blades/Scraping blades)

Rotor Speed: 2000 RPM

STEP – VII (PRE –LUBRICATION):

Load the milled granules of Step-VI in Double Cone Blender (capacity : 400 liter)

and add sifted Talcum IP (1.500 kg) and Aerosil IP (1.250 kg) and mix properly till

uniform mixing of milled material with Pre-Lubricating Material.

Mixing Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes clockwise direction and 15 minutes anti-clockwise direction)

Mixing Speed: 10 RPM

STEP – VIII (LUBRICATION):

Add the sifted Calcium Stearate IP (2.000 kg) in Pre- Lubricated Material of Step-VII
