Manufacturing process of Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride
The manufacturing of Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride begins by verifying the cleanliness of equipment and ensuring the availability of all utilities, raw materials, and packing materials.
Charge the industrial solvent in glass line reactor (GLR) and gradually add oxymetazoline base and hydrochloric acid. Stir the reaction mass for 10-15 minutes. Maintain the reaction mass at 30–40°C for 240–360 minutes.
Take the in-process sample from reactor and send the in-process sample to quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by TLC. After result complies centrifugation operation to be carried out. and Final wet cake dry under vacuum at 40–50°C for 240-480 minutes.
Finally, Pack Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride in a clear poly bag and twist the mouth of the bag. Secure it with a PVC strip. Place this bag inside another poly bag, twist its mouth, and secure it with a PVC strip. Insert these bags into a triple-laminated aluminum bag and seal it properly. Finally, place the sealed aluminum bag in an HDPE container. Store Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature below 30°C.
