3. Manufacturing Alendronate Sodium 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. Alendronate can cause severe irritation if it dissolves in the throat or esophagus. To prevent this, we use a specialized Film Coating. This ensures the tablet surface is smooth and slippery for easy swallowing. We also optimize the Disintegration Time so the tablet remains intact until it reaches the stomach but dissolves rapidly once there for absorption.

  • The Exporter: Healthy Inc Second, Healthy Inc manages international trade. This division handles logistics for Alendronate Sodium Tablets. We supply geriatric care centers and pharmacies globally. We offer specialized “Calendar Packaging” (blisters marked with Day 1, Day 2, etc.) for the 70mg Weekly dose to help patients remember their schedule.

4. Quality Assurance We test every batch rigorously.

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

  • Dissolution: We test how the tablet releases the drug. Bisphosphonates have poor oral bioavailability (<1%), so the tablet must dissolve perfectly to work at all.

  • Uniformity of Dosage Units: We ensure every tablet has the same weight and drug content.
