Pharmacy

Pharmacy DepartmentAllegiant Health’s Pharmacy Department executes the batching, pre-weighing and auditing of raw materials which are measured and stored in stainless steel transfer totes. Allegiant Health isolates and stores material for production in controlled environments, delivering them for processing in precise measure by gravity feed into the mixing vessels. Purity, speed and precision are the foundation of the Pharmacy Department.

Blending

Blending CapabilitiesAllegiant Health possesses extensive blending capabilities. The company can accommodate a broad range of batch processing due to its multiple size mixing vessels ranging in capacity from 10 cubic feet to 125 cubic feet. As part of our Quality Control Program, each blending vessel is operated in its own isolated area.

All of the batching materials are provided pre-weighed, a process that is executed and audited by the company’s Pharmacy Department. The attention to detail and the tremendous skill possessed by this professional staff assures the absolute highest quality and consistency from batch to batch. All batches processed in the pharmacy blending area are stored and transferred in portable stainless steel totes. These transfer totes provide manufacturing with the ability to gravity feed the processed material directly into the compression equipment while maintaining isolation from the environment. This process minimizes the potential for contamination and ensures the purity of the ingredient blend.

Compression

Medication Contract ManufacturingAllegiant Health’s new facility is populated by the latest technology in compression equipment. Once the processed blends are released from blending, they are converted into solid dosage forms using state-of-the-art compression machines. Allegiant Health’s new facility features a dedicated, high-capacity compression area. Each state-of-the-art, high-speed compression machine is operated and maintained by a dedicated staff in its own isolated compression room.

To further enhance the quality of the compression process, all compressed dosage forms have the residual dust that naturally occurs during the compression process mechanically removed. Once the dust is removed, the compressed tablets are then inspected using highly sensitive metal detection devices. We routinely produce a wide array of tablet and caplet shapes and dosage sizes, with dimensions ranging from dosage sizes of 100 mg to over 1000 mg.

Coating

CoatingAllegiant Health has made significant investments in upgrading our coating capabilities in the new Deer Park, New York, U.S.A. facility. As a result, all solid dosage forms can be processed to accept an extensive variety of applied coatings. Our coating capabilities range from simple, clear film coat to multi-layer pigmented enteric coatings.

Allegiant Health operates high-capacity, technologically advanced, 60-inch diameter coating pans with multiple metered spray jets, providing a consistent and efficient coating operation. In keeping with the company’s high-quality standards, each coating machine is operated in its own dedicated room.

Packaging

 State-Of-The-Art Packaging TechnologyAllegiant Health features state-of-the-art pharmaceutical packaging technology that provides our customers with the ability to customize their brands across a multitude of potential packaging configurations. Allegiant Health employs rigid quality control protocols and all packaging operations follow current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines for both active pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement ingredients.

Allegiant Health offers a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical packaging options including clear, transparent, translucent and opaque containers with tamper-evident screw, snap, and CRC closures. In additional to standard bottle fill configurations, customized product formulas and dosage forms can also be packaged in blister cards of various counts utilizing a push-through or CRC backing.

All primary and secondary packaging containers are carefully coded with batch lot identification and product expiration dates. To make certain the highest quality control standards are adhered too, each packaging line is isolated within its own, isolated packaging room. This isolation eliminates the possibility of product cross contamination.

Final customer presentation forms can be banded or bundled, tray displayed or packaged in case counts from 12 to 144 units.

Allegiant Health’s ability to provide this level of customized service and flexibility provides its customers with a broad range of unique pharmaceutical packaging opportunities to further enhance their brand’s equity.
