Lansoprazole enteric-coated pellets for filling 15 mg and 30 mg capsules, an intermediate for finished-dose manufacturers. For capsule makers, contract manufacturers and licensed traders needing documented pellet supply.

Product Description:

This page covers lansoprazole enteric-coated pellets, a manufacturing intermediate rather than a finished medicine. Capsule makers buy them to fill hard capsules at 15 mg or 30 mg of lansoprazole each. A typical pellet is built on an inert core, carries a layer of drug with a stabilising base, a protective sub-coat and then a gastro-resistant polymer coat. Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is unstable in acid, so this layered structure decides whether the capsule works.

The finished capsules made from these pellets are used for peptic ulcers, reflux disease and Helicobacter pylori regimens. Drug loading is stated as a percentage by weight and sets the fill weight per capsule, so the certificate must give a precise assay. Key tests include acid resistance, release in buffer, related substances, water content, residual solvents and a sieve size distribution that suits your filling machine. Pellets from different makers are not interchangeable without bridging work.

Sourcing notes. Pellets are not covered by CE marking. They fall under medicines GMP, and the capsule maker's marketing authorisation must name the pellet source. Ask for the pellet maker's GMP certificate, a technical package or open part that supports your dossier, and the DMF or CEP reference for the lansoprazole API inside. Every lot should carry a CoA, plus a stated retest period. Sealed, lined drums protect them from light and moisture at controlled room temperature. In your enquiry state the drug loading you need, the quantity in kilograms, the target capsule strengths and the market where the capsules will be registered.
