3. Manufacturing Prazosin Tablets

Manufacturing low-dose antihypertensives requires precision engineering.

  • The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.Since Prazosin is potent (often 1mg or 2mg), the risk of content variation is high. We use Geometric Mixing and High-Shear Granulation processes. This guarantees that the active drug is perfectly distributed throughout the tablet matrix. We strictly control humidity during manufacturing to prevent the degradation of Prazosin Hydrochloride, which is sensitive to moisture.
  • The Exporter: Healthy IncHealthy Inc handles the global supply chain. We ensure that the product is packaged in high-barrier Alu-Alu blisters or moisture-resistant containers to maintain stability during shipping. We provide end-to-end support for Government Tenders and hospital bulk supplies.

4. Quality Assurance

We adhere to strict Pharmacopoeial standards:

  • Content Uniformity: We perform extensive sampling (more than standard protocols) to ensure every tablet has the exact dosage.

  • Dissolution Profiling: We ensure the drug releases consistently to prevent sudden drops in blood pressure (dumping).

  • Impurities: We test for related substances to ensure the purity of the API over the 3-year shelf life.

5. Why Use Prazosin Tablets?

Prazosin is a versatile drug with dual benefits for heart and prostate health.

    • Hypertension: Lowers blood pressure effectively.

    • BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia): Improves urine flow in men with enlarged prostates.6
