China API Factory

There are so many diseases that affect the human population in the current hours and so are the numerous drugs that are available to treat those diseases. Any drug aimed at treating a disease or its symptoms is made from 2 basic ingredients.

One of the ingredients is the central ingredient that needs to be administered for producing the desired results and the other ingredient is an excipient that helps in the delivery of the main ingredient in our system. Common excipients are mineral oils or lactose and they remain chemically inactive in any drug.

The central ingredient is referred to as API or Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. There can be a single API or multiple in any drug combination. Manufacturing the right strength and potency of a drug is imperative for any pharmaceutical organization as these factors are strictly regulated by FDA and are monitored by very stringent quality control parameters.

Sandoo Pharmaceuticals from China have a reputation in the pharmaceutical industry. This pharmaceutical organization is regarded as a very reputed API manufacturer and they have R&D facilities that are fully equipped with modern pharmaceutical equipment. Maintaining a high level of quality and integrity in their production line is the basis on which this organization works to provide advanced pharmaceutical solutions to the world.


Examples of API
As we have learned that API is the effective part of any medicine that needs to be administered to cure treat a specific disease in the body. To better understand the terminology let us take an example of a very common medicine that we all have consumed multiple times in our life, Paracetamol.

Alone paracetamol cannot form a stable drug that can be sealed in a capsule, packaged, shipped, and stored. Every medicine needs a carrying agent which remains inactive in the drug. Some carrying agents can impart volume to the drug while others are added for altering the taste. However, it is the main ingredient paracetamol, which will be delivered to the body to provide a reduction in inflammation and fever.

Therefore, paracetamol is the API of the drug Paracetamol. However, some drugs may not have the same name as their API ingredient. For example, the API acetylsalicylic acid is found in the drug, Aspirin.

Production of API
In early times, it was the pharmaceutical industry that was responsible for doing research on various drugs, manufacturing the APIs, and production and distribution of medicines worldwide.

The scenario has changed widely nowadays. API manufacturers are now located in labor-intensive countries like China where it is easier to set up large production plants and lower labor costs help in cutting down the production cost as well.


As China is also the source of most raw materials for producing APIs, it is a hub of most API manufacturing plants across the globe.

Producing an API is a multi-step process and most APIs are produced as a powder, which is then sold to various multinational drug manufacturers who then add excipient to produce a stable form of a drug that can be packaged and sold.
