3. Manufacturing Sodium Valproate Tablets We divide our operations to ensure specialized focus.

  • The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. First, Healthy Life Pharma handles manufacturing. We operate a WHO-GMP certified plant in Mumbai. Sodium Valproate is highly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air). Therefore, we manufacture in low-humidity zones (<40% RH). Furthermore, Valproic Acid severely irritates the stomach. To solve this, we use advanced Enteric Coating technology. This ensures the tablet bypasses the stomach and dissolves in the intestine, preventing nausea.

  • The Exporter: Healthy Inc Second, Healthy Inc manages international trade. This division handles logistics for Sodium Valproate Tablets. We use Alu-Alu packaging to provide the highest barrier against moisture. We serve markets in LATAM, Africa, and Southeast Asia. We ensure timely shipment for chronic disease programs.

4. Quality Assurance We test every batch rigorously.

  • Assay Verification: We use HPLC testing. This confirms the exact drug content.

  • Dissolution (Stage 1 & 2): We test the enteric coating. The tablet must not dissolve in acid (stomach simulation) but must dissolve rapidly in buffer (intestine simulation).

  • Moisture Content: We strictly check water content. Excess moisture degrades the tablet quickly.
