Manufacturing process of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride
The manufacturing process begins with ensuring equipment cleanliness and availability of utilities, raw materials, and packing materials.
Charge ethanol in glass line reactor (GLR) and gradually add tamsulosin base with hydrochloric acid. Stir the reaction mass for 10-15 minutes and heat the reaction mass up to 30–40°C and maintain it for 240–360 minutes. Take in-process sample from reactor and send in-process sample to Quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by HPLC.
After the reaction, the mixture is filtered to remove impurities. The product is then dried under vacuum at 40–50°C for 360-480 minutes.
Pack Tamsulosin 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 Tamsulosin Hydrochloride in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature below 30°C.
