3. Manufacturing Verapamil Prolonged Release 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. Creating a 40mg Prolonged Release tablet requires advanced technology. We use a Hydrophilic Matrix System. This involves embedding the active Verapamil in a polymer web. When swallowed, the tablet swells and releases the drug slowly over time. This technology is critical to ensure the small 40mg dose lasts for the intended duration without “dose dumping.”

  • The Exporter: Healthy Inc Second, Healthy Inc manages international trade. This division handles logistics for Verapamil Prolonged Release Tablets. We understand that this specific strength is often required for geriatric patients or specific titration protocols. We ensure that our export documentation clearly distinguishes this PR formulation from standard Immediate Release tablets to prevent dispensing errors.

4. Quality Assurance We test every batch rigorously.

  • Assay Verification: We use HPLC testing. This confirms the Verapamil content is exactly 40mg.

  • Dissolution Profile: This is the most critical test. We measure drug release at multiple time points (e.g., 1hr, 4hr, 8hr, 12hr). This proves that the tablet is truly “Prolonged Release” and not immediate release.

  • Stability: We ensure the matrix polymer remains stable in Zone IVb climates (hot and humid).

5. Why Use Verapamil Prolonged Release (40mg)? This formulation offers smoother control than immediate-release tablets.

  • Stable Plasma Levels: It avoids the “peak and trough” effect of taking immediate-release tablets multiple times a day.

  • Tolerability: The slow release reduces side effects like flushing or dizziness, which can happen if the drug enters the blood too fast.

  • Titration: The 40mg PR strength allows doctors to start patients on a low sustained dose before moving to higher strengths (120mg/240mg).

Key Indications:

  • Management of mild Hypertension.

  • Chronic Stable Angina (maintenance therapy).

  • Rate control in specific arrhythmias for sensitive patients.

6. Export and Regulatory Support We provide complete documentation for registration.

  • Dossier: We offer CTD and ACTD formats.

  • Certificates: We supply the Free Sale Certificate (FSC) and COPP.

  • Logistics: We ship via FOB Mumbai or CIF.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Who manufactures Verapamil Prolonged Release Tablets? A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India.

  • Q: How is this different from normal 40mg tablets? A: Normal 40mg tablets release instantly and must be taken 3 times a day. Our Verapamil Prolonged Release 40mg releases slowly and is taken less frequently.

  • Q: Do you have higher strengths? A: Yes, we also manufacture the standard 120mg and 240mg SR tablets.


CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY & SAFETY INFORMATION (For Registered Medical Practitioners & Patient Reference)

8. Dosage and Administration

  • Standard Dosage: As directed by the physician. This specific 40mg PR strength is often used for initiation or for patients who cannot tolerate high doses.

  • Administration: Swallow whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Doing so destroys the matrix and releases the entire 40mg dose at once, which can be dangerous.

9. Side Effects and Precautions

  • Common Side Effects: Constipation, dizziness, or headache.

  • Bradycardia: Verapamil slows the heart rate. Patients with already slow heart rates should be monitored.

  • Interactions: Use caution with Beta-blockers (e.g., Timolol, Propranolol) as the combined effect on heart rate can be significant.

10. Storage Instructions

  • Store below 25°C in a dry place.

  • Protect from light and moisture.

  • Keep out of reach of children.
