Paracetamol Bulk Drug Manufacturing Process

Owing to technologically advanced manufacturing infrastructure, leading pharma companies are producing wide array of bulk drugs.  A bulk drug is also known as API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) which is the chemical particle in a pharmaceutical product and provides the therapeutic effect in a medicine. Paracetamol bulk drug is manufactured by many pharma companies as it is highly demanded in the market.

If the bulk drug is missing, the product is no longer a drug and when it is altered, it is a different medicine. In most of the accessible bulk drugs, change of inactive ingredients does not impact the healing efficiency of the product, even though exceptions are always there. Thereby, the drug manufacturers relatively have the freedom to "formulate" the bulk drug by using excipents of their selection depending on chemical viability and profitable interests.


The drugs present in the form of capsules, tablets, syrups, powders, drops, intravenous fluids etc., available in the market are hence "formulations." In Simple words, the products referred as medicines are formulations of bulk drugs and not bulk drugs as such. Launching a new bulk drug whether it is paracetamol bulk drug or any other is quite expensive proposition which also needs thorough scientific research, huge risks of expensive failures and legalization trials.

Some MNCs states they invest $800m for a new medicine invention. A new drug request is being filed before a controller when an agency wishes to introduce a new chemical product, bulk drug with a high therapeutic effect.
