About ATORVASTATIN CAL IP/USP
Atorvastatin calcium, as per IP (Indian Pharmacopoeia) and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) specifications, ensures its quality, potency, and safety for pharmaceutical use. These standards define its identity, purity, strength, and allowable limits for impurities and contaminants. They also specify parameters like assay (potency), related substances, residual solvents, moisture content (loss on drying), heavy metals content, microbial limits, particle size distribution, and storage conditions. Compliance with these specifications guarantees Atorvastatin calcium's reliability and effectiveness in medical applications.
Exceptional Purity and Quality StandardsAtorvastatin Calcium IP/USP is manufactured under stringent pharmaceutical standards to ensure purity levels exceeding 99%. Each batch is thoroughly tested for heavy metals, impurities, and microbial content, in line with IP, USP, and EP requirements. The material remains stable under proper storage conditions, providing consistent efficacy for medication production.
Optimized Formulation for Pharmaceutical ManufacturingThis raw material is offered in micronized powder form for ease of incorporation into tablet and capsule formulations. The free solubility in methanol and ethanol ensures seamless blending in various pharmaceutical processes, while its practical insolubility in water aids in targeted formulation needs.
Reliable Packaging and Shelf LifePackaged in HDPE drums with double polybags, Atorvastatin Calcium is safeguarded against moisture and contaminant exposure. With a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacturing, it remains potent and stable, provided it is stored in a cool, dry, and light-protected environment.
