Post graduate Diploma / Executive Diploma in Pharmaceutical Production

Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Pharmaceutical Production (PGDPP/EDPP)

IGMPI

The pharmaceutical industry plays a significant role in healthcare systems all around the world. It is made up of both governmental and commercial entities that research, develop, manufacture, and sell medications. Molecular biologists, medicinal chemists, and chemists are all attempting to improve pharmaceutical efficacy and specificity. Pharmaceutical companies manufacture pharmaceutical treatments on a large scale, which is known as drug manufacturing. The method of pharmaceutical manufacture can be broken down into a series of unit procedures. Milling, granulation, coating, and tablet pressing are all possible steps in the process.

The pharmaceutical industry has stringent production standards and restrictions. As a result, pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment must comply with industry requirements. Pharmaceutical production equipment includes capsule filling machines, x-ray inspection systems, tablet punches, and spray drying accessories, to name a few. Almost every operation can be automated to ensure precise manufacturing and formulation development. As a result of automation, every stage of the pharmaceutical production process involves a piece of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.

Solid and liquid components are combined in compounding operations to make solutions, syrups, suspensions, pastes, and ointments. Containment process equipment and transfer systems should be used when synthesizing particularly dangerous substances. Workers may come into contact with buffering agents, detergents, and antiseptics. Eyewashes and safety showers can help personnel avoid damage if they come into contact with caustic or irritating chemicals. Because of the moist surfaces, workers in compounding areas must be protected from electrical hazards of equipment and utilities. Avoiding burns and falls is made easier by installing insulation on hot surfaces and maintaining dry, non-slip flooring. The value of safety equipment in the medicine manufacturing process cannot be emphasized.

This programme will enable the participants to understand

The continual production which involves the continual introduction of raw materials and energy into the system, as well as the extraction of output products. The material flow rate's constancy is crucial to the process's performance. Because feeding is often the first stage in the production process for powder-based continuous processes, it is vital to feed powders into the subsequent processes on the line consistently and correctly. Feeders are designed to deliver consistent performance, accurate feed rates, and minimal downtime.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, a range of non-active components can be blended with the active pharmaceutical component or substances to create the final blend for the solid dosage form. There are numerous elements to consider due to the wide range of materials that might be mixed. Variables to examine include particle size distribution, particle shape (spheres, rods, cubes, plates, etc.), moisture content, particle surface attributes such as roughness and cohesiveness, and powder flow characteristics. Milling is typically used during the manufacturing process to reduce the average particle size of a pharmaceutical powder. This is due to a variety of factors, including improved homogeneity and dose uniformity, as well as higher medicinal component solubility. Repeated powder mixing followed by milling is used to improve the mix's manufacturability.

The two most frequent types of granulation are wet granulation and dry granulation. Milling is the inverse of granulation. Granules are generated when small particles combine together to form larger particles. Granulation serves a number of functions. It prevents "demixing" of components in a combination by generating a granule that has all of the ingredients in the correct proportions, enhancing powder flow properties, and increasing compaction qualities for tablet manufacturing.

Hot-melt extrusion is used in pharmaceutical solid oral dosage manufacture to deliver medications with limited solubility and bioavailability. Hot-melt extrusion has been shown to molecularly disperse poorly soluble medications in a polymer carrier. In this procedure, heat, pressure, and agitation are utilised to mix materials and 'extrude' them through a tool die. Twin-screw high-shear extruders combine ingredients while breaking them up. The particles formed can then be blended, crushed, and put into tablets or capsules.
