Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are followed to ensure proper handling, testing, and control of raw materials, equipment, and the manufacturing environment.
Quality control tests are performed at various stages of production to verify the identity, purity, and strength of the ingredients, as well as the final product. These tests include microbial analysis, stability testing, dissolution testing, and content uniformity.
