1. Starting Materials:

  • Cetirizine Hydrochloride USP
  • Lactose USP (Filler)
  • Microcrystalline Cellulose USP (Binder)
  • Colloidal Silicon Dioxide USP (Glidant)
  • Magnesium Stearate USP (Lubricant)

2. Weighing and Blending:

  • All starting materials will be weighed accurately following a documented SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) by qualified personnel for Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets.
  • Weighed quantities of Cetirizine Hydrochloride and Lactose will be transferred to a blender with sufficient capacity to ensure uniform mixing.
  • Blending will be performed for a predetermined time per SOP to achieve a homogeneous mixture Cetirizine Hydrochloride and Lactose.

3. Granulation (Optional):

  • Depending on the formulation of Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets, a granulation step might be necessary to improve the flowability and compressibility of the blend.
  • Wet or dry granulation techniques can be employed following validated procedures.

4. Final Mixing:

  • After blending or granulation, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, and Magnesium Stearate will be added to the primary blend.
  • Intra-mixing will be carried out for a defined time per SOP to ensure uniform distribution of all components of Cetirizine Hydrochloride.

Tablet Compression:

  • The final blend will be transferred to a validated tablet compression machine.
  • Appropriate tooling (punch and die) will be selected to produce tablets with a target weight of 100mg, containing 5mg of Cetirizine Hydrochloride.
  • The compression force will be adjusted to achieve tablets with sufficient hardness and friability per specifications.

6. In-Process Quality Control:

  • Throughout the manufacturing process Cetirizine 5 mg Tablets , samples will be collected for weight uniformity, content uniformity, and other quality control tests per the pre-defined sampling plan.
  • Any deviations from the specifications will trigger investigations and potential reprocessing as per SOPs.

7. Tablet Coating (Optional):

  • An optional film coating can be applied to the Cetirizine 5mg Tablets for aesthetic purposes, taste masking, or moisture protection.
  • A validated coating process will be followed, ensuring uniform coat application and compliance with specifications.

8. Packaging:

  • Approved and pre-printed packaging materials will be used for the Cetirizine 5mg Tablets .
  • Each pack will contain the product information leaflet, including Den Mark Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. as the manufacturer, batch number, expiry date, and storage conditions.
  • Packaging will be performed in a designated clean area to minimize contamination risks of the Cetirizine 5mg Tablets .

9. Labelling:

10. Quarantine and Release:

  • Manufactured batches will be placed under quarantine until final product testing is completed.
  • Quality control personnel will perform final product release testing per SOPs, including weight variation, disintegration, dissolution, and assay.
  • Batches of Cetirizine 5mg Tablets will be released only after meeting all the pre-defined specifications.

10. Documentation and Records::

  • All manufacturing steps, including raw material receipt, production processes, in-process controls, final product testing, and packaging, will be documented as per SOPs
  • Batch records will be maintained for future reference and regulatory audits.

This is a general overview of the manufacturing process for Cetirizine 5mg Tablets at Den Mark Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. Following these steps and adhering to WHO GMP guidelines ensure consistent production of high-quality tablets.
