CHAPTER V
PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION
Brief description of manufacture operation:
All manufacture operations are carried out under the supervision of qualified and
experienced technical staff. They are usually graduate/postgraduate/doctorate in pharmacy
or chemistry with sufficient experience in pharmaceutical manufacture. These supervisory
staff are trained to be always vigilant during the processing activities so that no mistake
can occur. There is an elaborate system of in-process quality control. Production and QA
person take care of this in-process control activities. As the batch manufacturing
progresses the Batch production & Control record (BP 2019CR). Batch reconciliation is
done at critical stages of manufacturing and packaging. In this Company, we produce (a)
uncoated and blisters caplets; (b) capsule; (c) oral liquid; (d)effervescent caplet. The
production flow sheets are appended at the end separately.
Handling of Materials in production
All raw and packaging materials received are first identified by the suppliers lot number
accordingly quarantined, sampled and either approved or rejected. As per the QC
certification, the material gets an Analytical Reference (A.R.) number and then it is
transferred to approve or reject materials storing, as the case may be.
The sampling of materials is done, as per the SOP on sampling by the QC personnel. The
sampled containers are identified as “Sampled” by the way of a separate identification.
All materials are clearly status labeled e.g.
 Name of material
 Under test
 Approved
 Rejected
The raw/packaging materials are issued to production based on a formal written request.
All raw materials are weighed on calibrated weighing balances of suitable capacity in the
presence of a person from QC and production.
All materials which are approved by QC for production purpose are properly identified by
status labelling and such materials are only issued for production after dispensing.
 Control of Bulk Manufacture
All products manufactured have a MPCR. A BP 2019CR is a replica of such approved
MPCR. This clearly describe the method of manufacture, in-process controls required,
against various parameters like weight variation, fiability, disintegration etc. Such findings
are recorded in the BP 2019CR during the process is being carried out.
CHAPTER VI
QUALITY CONTROL
QUALITY CONTROL
1. Activities of QC Department
Quality control activity is examination and testing of all incoming materials, which has a
direct or indirect effect on the identity, strength, safety and purity of the pharmaceutical
product.
The QC is also responsible for the in-process checks and the release of the finished
pharmaceuticals for distribution.
Semi-finished and finished products are released for packing and for sale respectively by
QC after ascertaining QA clearance as per following norm.
Samples of each batch of semi-finished products are drawn by QA person at specific
intervals during entire batch production per the respective specifications (Pharmacopoeial
or in-house or both). Analytical details and results are recorded in test protocols and
certificates of analysis. The bulk batch is change over to packaging department only after
confirming clearance by QC and QA. Upon completion of packing, reconciliation is
carried out and packing statement sheet mentioning batch details and the packed quantity
is filled and sent to QA for apprellipse. QA person verifies the BP 2019CR and then gives
“Release for Sale or distribution”.
Finished products failing to meet the specified standards are quarantined and kept under

CHAPTER VIII
DISTRIBUTION,
COMPLAINT
AND PRODUCT RECALL
DISTRIBUTION, COMPLAINTS AND PRODUCT RECALL
1. Agreement for recording system for distribution
We have a well-built and highly secured warehouse for storage of the finished foods for
distribution or sale
The storage conditions are the warehouse is maintained as per the requirement of the
product e.g. air-conditioned storage, low temperature/low humidity storage etc.
We have products requiring refrigerated storage.
All the materials are stored only on the clean PVC pallets, avoiding there by direct contact
with the floor.
All the finished product shippers are properly labeled giving the details about the product
name and batch number. This helps in proper identification of the finished products at any
time.
No rejected material is coming in the area where only released finished products are
stored. The rejected materials are kept totally isolated in the separate area always under
lock and key.
The finished good are distributed as per the marketing requisition/orders on first in-first
out basic. A complete record of the finished goods distribution is maintained and where
the full batch is completely distributed the information for the whole batch distribution
details include the list of purchasers, date of the sale and quantity, and other commercial
information. This data is available product wise/batch wise. Such historical batch
distribution details are retrievable immediately.
2. Arrangement for handling of complaints
Market complaints are normally raised by doctor, consumers, medical representatives or
DAV officials.
We have a SOP on handling of market complaint in the following way:
1. Receiving the complaints
2. Recording all available data of the product/batch and nature of the complaint.
3. Evaluating the complaints
4. Compare it with retained sample of the same product/batch
5. Identify the reasons for the complaint
6. Take corrective action
7. Communicate with the complainant
8. Record completely the investigations and remedy action in the complaint file
9. Review the market complaints trend at regular intervals.
3. Arrangement for handling product recalls
Recall procedure is followed as per SOP. Recall is initiated by the Quality Assurance
department. The seriousness of the error is discussed in a joint meeting consisting of
representative from QC, production, formulation development & the top management. The
recall is instituted by sending a recall circular by fastest mode of communication available
at that time, to all concern people at all concern locations. All efforts are made to receive
and collect the maximum number of units of the batch at the point of availability.
If required, the QC head communicates to the DAV authorities. The involvement of DAV
authorities depends upon the seriousness of the reason for the product recall. We try to go
to the level of retailers for recalling a product. But generally it is restricted to wholesale.
Reasons for product recall are thoroughly investigates by the management & properly
recorded.
Based on the finding of these report necessary corrective actions are taken to avoid the
recurrence of such cases in the future.
CHAPTER IX

4. CLINICAL CHARACTERISTIC
 THERAPEUTIC INDICATION:
In adults and paediatric patients 6 years and above:
 Cetirizine is indicated for the relief of nasal and ocular symptoms of seasonal and
perennial allergic rhinitis.
 Cetirizine is indicated for the relief of symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Usage: Taken orally with water CETIZYTEC should be taken before meals. If taken after
meals, the drug may be slowly absorbed.
Dosage:
 Adults and children 6 years of age and older take 1 let of 10 mg/day or 5 mg x 2
times/day.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to Cetirizine dihydrochloride or to any of the ingredients.
Warning and important when using drugs.
Ask doctor before using this medicine:
If you have liver disease or are careful, include alcoholic liver disease.
CETIZYTEC is not toxic at therapeutic doses, and when used under the guidance of a
physician. However, overdose of Cetirizine dihydrochloride can cause liver failure.
Taking multiple products containing Cetirizine dihydrochloride at the same time can lead
to harmful consequences (such as Cetirizine dihydrochloride overdose).
Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
You should avoid drinking too much caffeine (e.g. coffee, tea and some cans) when using
this product.
Using drugs for pregnant and lactating women
Pregnant:
For cetirizine prospectively collected data on pregnancy outcomes do not suggest potential
for maternal or fontal/embryonic toxicity above background rates.
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy,
embryonal/fetal development, parturition or postnatal development. Caution should be
exercised when prescribing to pregnant women.
Breastfeeding period:
Cetirizine passes into breast milk. A risk of side effects in breastfed infants cannot be
excluded. Cetirizine is excreted in human milk at concentrations representing 25% to 90%
of those measured in plasma, depending on sampling time after administration. Therefore,
caution should be exercised when prescribing cetirizine to lactating women.
Effects of the drug on the ability to drive and use machine.
Objective measurements of driving ability, sleep latency and assembly line performance
have not demonstrated any clinically relevant effects at the recommended dose of 10 mg.
However, patients who experience somnolence should refrain from driving, engaging in
potentially hazardous activities or operating machinery. They should not exceed the
recommended dose and should take their response to the medicinal product into account.
Drug interactions and incompatibilities.
Due to the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and tolerance profile of cetirizine, no
interactions are expected with this antihistamine. Actually, neither pharmacodynamic nor
significant pharmacokinetic interaction was reported in drug-drug interactions studies
performed, notably with pseudoephedrine or theophylline (400 mg/day).
The extent of absorption of cetirizine is not reduced with food, although the rate of
absorption is decreased.
In sensitive patients, the concurrent use of alcohol or other CNS depressants may cause
additional reductions in alertness and impairment of performance, although cetirizine does
not potentiate the effect of alcohol (0.5 g/L blood levels).
Undesirable effects.
Clinical studies have shown that cetirizine at the recommended dosage has minor
undesirable effects on the CNS, including somnolence, fatigue, dizziness and headache. In
some cases, paradoxical CNS stimulation has been reported.
Although cetirizine is a selective antagonist of peripheral H1-receptors and is relatively
free of anticholinergic activity, isolated cases of micturition difficulty, eye
accommodation disorders and dry mouth have been reported.
Instances of abnormal hepatic function with elevated hepatic enzymes accompanied by
elevated bilirubin have been reported. Mostly these resolves upon discontinuation of the
treatment with cetirizine dihydrochloride.
Overdose and treatment.
For Cetirizine dihydrochloride
 Symptom:
Symptoms observed after an overdose of cetirizine are mainly associated with CNS effects
or with effects that could suggest an anticholinergic effect.
Adverse events reported after an intake of at least 5 times the recommended daily dose is:
confusion, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, malaise, mydriasis, pruritus, restlessness,
sedation, somnolence, stupor, tachycardia, tremor, and urinary retention.
 To solve:
There is no known specific antidote to cetirizine.
Should overdose occur, symptomatic or supportive treatment is recommended. Gastric
lavage may be considered shortly after ingestion of the drug.
Cetirizine is not effectively removed by hemodialysis.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
 PHARMACODYNAMICS
Cetirizine dihydrochloride:
In addition to its anti-H1 effect, cetirizine was shown to display anti-allergic activities: at a
dose of 10 mg once or twice daily, it inhibits the late phase recruitment of eosinophils, in
the skin and conjunctiva of atopic subjects submitted to allergen challenge.
 Clinical efficacy and safety
Studies in healthy volunteers show that cetirizine, at doses of 5 and 10 mg strongly
inhibits the wheal and flare reactions induced by very high concentrations of histamine
into the skin, but the correlation with efficacy is not established.
In a six-week, placebo-controlled study of 186 patients with allergic rhinitis and
concomitant mild to moderate asthma, cetirizine 10 mg once daily improved rhinitis
symptoms and did not alter pulmonary function. This study supports the safety of
administering cetirizine to allergic patients with mild to moderate asthma.
In a placebo-controlled study, cetirizine given at the high daily dose of 60 mg for seven
days did not cause statistically significant prolongation of QT interval.
At the recommended dosage, cetirizine has demonstrated that it improves the quality of
life of patients with perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis.
 Paediatric population
In a 35-day study in children aged 5 to 12, no tolerance to the antihistaminic effect
(suppression of wheal and flare) of cetirizine was found. When a treatment with cetirizine
is stopped after repeated administration, the skin recovers its normal reactivity to
histamine within 3 days.

 PHARMACOKINETICS
Cetirizine dihydrochloride:
The steady - state peak plasma concentrations are approximately 300 ng/mL and is
achieved within 1.0 ± 0.5 h. The distribution of pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak
plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under curve (AUC), is unimodal.
The extent of absorption of cetirizine is not reduced with food, although the rate of
absorption is decreased. The extent of bioavailability is similar when cetirizine is given as
solutions, capsules or caplet.

6. APPROACH
There are mainly four approaches for the process validation
Prospective validation 
Concurrent validation 
Retrospective validation 
Re-validation 
Prospective validation
In this approach, validation carried out before the production of the product that intended
for the sale in market. Further, in this validation, process divided in various steps. Each
step analyzed experimentally or theoretically to get proper knowledge about critical
process parameters and their effect on product quality.
The reason to do validation by prospective approach is that before the manufacturing of
caplet manufacturing can predict the critical process point, their effect on product quality
and manufacturer can solve obstacles which may arise during process.
7. NUMBER OF RUNS & SCHEDULE
For prospective validation, three different batches of caplet will be taken into
consideration

2. ANALYSIS METHOD:

2.1. Specification: by sensory test, finished product must satisfy requirements.

2.2. Identification:

•  A. Infrared Absorption 〈197K〉
•  B. The retention time of the major peak of the Sample solution corresponds to that of
the levocetirizine peak of the System suitability solution, as obtained in the test
for Enantiomeric Purity.
•  C. Identification Tests—General 〈191〉, Chloride: Meets the requirements

INFRARED ABSORPTION
Seven methods are indicated for the preparation of previously dried test specimens and
Reference Standards for analysis. The reference 〈197K〉 in a monograph signifies that the
substance under examination is mixed intimately with potassium bromide. The
reference 〈197M〉 in a monograph signifies that the substance under examination is finely
ground and dispersed in mineral oil. The reference 〈197F〉 in a monograph signifies that
the substance under examination is suspended neat between suitable (for example, sodium
chloride or potassium bromide) plates. The reference 〈197S〉 signifies that a solution of
designated concentration is prepared in the solvent specified in the individual monograph,
and the solution is examined in 0.1-mm cells unless a different cell path length is specified
in the individual monograph. The reference 〈197A〉 signifies that the substance under
examination is intimately in contact with an internal reflection element for attenuated total
reflectance (ATR) analysis. The reference 〈197E〉 signifies that the substance under
examination is pressed as a thin sample against a suitable plate for IR microscopic
analysis. The reference 〈197D〉 in a monograph signifies that the substance under
examination is mixed intimately with an IR-transparent material and transferred to a
sample container for diffuse reflection (DR) analysis. The ATR 〈197A〉 and
the 〈197E〉 techniques can be used as alternative methods for 〈197K〉, 〈197M〉, 〈197F〉,
and 〈197S〉 where testing is performed qualitatively and the Reference Standard spectra
are similarly obtained.
Record the spectra of the test specimen and the corresponding USP Reference Standard
over the range from about 2.6 µm to 15 µm (3800 cm–1 to 650 cm–1) unless otherwise
specified in the individual monograph. The IR absorption spectrum of the preparation of
the test specimen, previously dried under conditions specified for the corresponding
Reference Standard unless otherwise specified, or unless the Reference Standard is to be
used without drying, exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of a similar
preparation of the corresponding USP Reference Standard.
Differences that may be observed in the spectra so obtained sometimes are attributed to
the presence of polymorphs, which are not always acceptable
(see Procedure under 〈854〉). Unless otherwise directed in the individual monograph,
therefore, continue as follows. If a difference appears in the IR spectra of the analyte and
the standard, dissolve equal portions of the test specimen and the Reference Standard in
equal volumes of a suitable solvent, evaporate the solution to dryness in similar containers
under identical conditions, and repeat the test on the residues.
ULTRAVIOLET ABSORPTION
The reference 〈197U〉 in a monograph signifies that a test solution and a Standard
solution are examined spectrophotometrically, in 1-cm cells, over the spectral range from
200 to 400 nm unless otherwise specified in the individual monograph.
Dissolve a portion of the substance under examination in the designated Medium to
obtain a test solution having the concentration specified in the monograph
for Solution. Similarly prepare a Standard solution containing the corresponding USP
Reference Standard.
Record and compare the spectra concomitantly obtained for the test solution and the
Standard solution. Calculate absorptivities and/or absorbance ratios where these criteria
are included in an individual monograph. Unless otherwise specified, absorbances
indicated for these calculations are those measured at the maximum absorbance at about
the wavelength specified in the individual monograph. Where the absorbance is to be
measured at about the specified wavelength other than that of maximum absorbance, the
abbreviations (min) and (sh) are used to indicate a minimum and shoulder, respectively, in
an absorption spectrum. The requirements are met if the UV absorption spectra of the test
solution and the Standard solution exhibit maxima and minima at the same wavelengths
and absorptivities and/or absorbance ratios are within specified limits.

2.3. Disintegration: As per USP 40-Disintegration

This general chapter is harmonized with the corresponding texts of the European


Pharmacopoeia and/or the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. The texts of these pharmacopeias
are therefore interchangeable, and the methods of the European Pharmacopoeia and/or
the Japanese Pharmacopoeia may be used for demonstration of compliance instead of the
present general chapter. These pharmacopeias have undertaken not to make any unilateral
change to this harmonized chapter.

Portions of the present general chapter text that are national USP text, and therefore not
part of the harmonized text, are marked with symbols (♦♦) to specify this fact.

This test is provided to determine whether caplets or capsules disintegrate within the
prescribed time when placed in a liquid medium at the experimental conditions presented
below. ♦Compliance with the limits on Disintegration stated in the individual monographs
is required except where the label states that the caplets or capsules are intended for use as
troches, or are to be chewed, or are designed as extended-release dosage forms or delayed-
release dosage forms. Determine the type of units under test from the labeling and from
observation, and apply the appropriate procedure to 6 or more dosage units.♦
For the purposes of this test, disintegration does not imply complete solution of the unit or
even of its active constituent. Complete disintegration is defined as that state in which any
residue of the unit, except fragments of insoluble coating or capsule shell, remaining on
the screen of the test apparatus or adhering to the lower surface of the disk, if used, is a
soft mass having no palpably firm core.

APPARATUS

The apparatus consists of a basket-rack assembly, a 1000-mL, low-form beaker, 138 to


160 mm in height and having an inside diameter of 97 to 115 mm for the immersion fluid,
a thermostatic arrangement for heating the fluid between 35° and 39°, and a device for
raising and lowering the basket in the immersion fluid at a constant frequency rate
between 29 and 32 cycles per minute through a distance of not less than 53 mm and not
more than 57 mm. The volume of the fluid in the vessel is such that at the highest point of
the upward stroke the wire mesh remains at least 15 mm below the surface of the fluid and
descends to not less than 25 mm from the bottom of the vessel on the downward stroke. At
no time should the top of the basket-rack assembly become submerged. The time required
for the upward stroke is equal to the time required for the downward stroke, and the
change in stroke direction is a smooth transition, rather than an abrupt reversal of motion.
The basket-rack assembly moves vertically along its axis. There is no appreciable
horizontal motion or movement of the axis from the vertical.

Basket-Rack Assembly

The basket-rack assembly consists of six open-ended transparent tubes, each 77.5 ± 2.5
mm long and having an inside diameter of 20.7 to 23 mm and a wall 1.0 to 2.8 mm thick;
the tubes are held in a vertical position by two plates, each 88 to 92 mm in diameter and 5
to 8.5 mm in thickness, with six holes, each 22 to 26 mm in diameter, equidistant from the
center of the plate and equally spaced from one another. Attached to the under surface of
the lower plate is a woven stainless steel wire cloth, which has a plain square weave with
1.8- to 2.2-mm apertures and with a wire diameter of 0.57 to 0.66 mm. The parts of the
apparatus are assembled and rigidly held by means of three bolts passing through the two
plates. A suitable means is provided to suspend the basket-rack assembly from the raising
and lowering device using a point on its axis.

The design of the basket-rack assembly may be varied somewhat, provided the
specifications for the glass tubes and the screen mesh size are maintained. The basket-rack
assembly conforms to the dimensions found in Figure 1.

Disks

The use of disks is permitted only where specified or allowed ♦in the monograph. If
specified in the individual monograph,♦ each tube is provided with a cylindrical disk 9.5 ±
0.15 mm thick and 20.7 ± 0.15 mm in diameter. The disk is made of a suitable transparent
plastic material having a specific gravity of between 1.18 and 1.20. Five parallel 2 ± 0.1-
mm holes extend between the ends of the cylinder. One of the holes is centered on the
cylindrical axis. The other holes are centered 6 ± 0.2 mm from the axis on imaginary lines
perpendicular to the axis and parallel to each other. Four identical trapezoidal-shaped
planes are cut into the wall of the cylinder, nearly perpendicular to the ends of the
cylinder. The trapezoidal shape is symmetrical; its parallel sides coincide with the ends of
the cylinder and are parallel to an imaginary line connecting the centers of two adjacent
holes 6 mm from the cylindrical axis. The parallel side of the trapezoid on the bottom of
the cylinder has a length of 1.6 ± 0.1 mm, and its bottom edges lie at a depth of 1.5 to 1.8
mm from the cylinder's circumference. The parallel side of the trapezoid on the top of the
cylinder has a length of 9.4 ± 0.2 mm, and its center lies at a depth of 2.6 ± 0.1 mm from
the cylinder's circumference. All surfaces of the disk are smooth. If the use of disks is
specified ♦in the individual monograph♦, add a disk to each tube, and operate the apparatus
as directed under Procedure. The disks conform to dimensions found in Figure 11.

Figure 1. Disintegration apparatus. (All dimensions are expressed in mm.)

PROCEDURE

Uncoated Caplet
♦Place 1 dosage unit in each of the six tubes of the basket and, if prescribed, add a disk.
Operate the apparatus, using ♦water or♦ the specified medium as the immersion fluid,
maintained at 37 ± 2°. At the end of the time limit specified ♦in the monograph,♦ lift the
basket from the fluid, and observe the caplets: all of the caplets have disintegrated
completely. If 1 or 2 caplets fail to disintegrate completely, repeat the test on 10 additional
caplets. The requirement is met if not fewer than 16 of the total of 18 caplets tested are
disintegrated.

Plain-Coated Caplet

Apply the test for Uncoated Caplet, operating the apparatus for the time specified in the
individual monograph.

Acceptance criteria: No more than 30 minutes
