Pharmaceutical Starch Made in Iran
Iranian pharmaceutical starch is a pharmaceutical-grade excipient manufactured under strict GMP conditions. This white, fine powder is a polysaccharide derived from natural sources (corn, potato, or wheat) and is used as a binder, disintegrant, and filler in tablet and capsule formulations. The excipient is available in USP, BP, EP, and JP grades and is suitable for the manufacture of tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms. All products are manufactured under licenses from the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME), with GMP certification, and in full compliance with all required pharmaceutical production standards.
The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company supplies Iranian pharmaceutical starch for export to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Kurdistan Region, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Syria, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, and Russia. In addition to the excipient, the department offers blister materials, caps, dosing cups, dosing spoons, syringes and needles, and complete labeling services.
1. Introduction to the Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company
The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company has developed a specialized expertise in the export of pharmaceutical excipients, and pharmaceutical starch represents a foundational product in its portfolio for solid dosage form manufacturing. The department understands that starch is one of the most widely used excipients in the pharmaceutical industry, serving multiple functions including binder, disintegrant, and filler. The excipient must meet stringent purity standards and have consistent physical properties to ensure reliable tablet and capsule manufacturing. A pharmaceutical manufacturer in Turkey requires pharmaceutical starch that meets USP, BP, EP, or JP standards and is suitable for wet granulation; a generic drug manufacturer in Iraq needs pharmaceutical starch for capsule formulations; a contract manufacturer in Oman requires pharmaceutical starch that meets GCC regulatory requirements; a pharmaceutical company in Jordan requires pharmaceutical starch that maintains stability over shelf life.
The department sources pharmaceutical starch from qualified Iranian manufacturers who operate under GMP conditions and hold licenses from the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME). These manufacturers use validated processing methods, and their facilities are subject to regular inspections. The excipient is available in USP, BP, EP, and JP grades, with controlled particle size distribution. The excipient is tested for assay, moisture content, ash content, heavy metals, and microbial contamination. Certificates of Analysis are provided with every shipment.
Important Notice: The ordering company must be a licensed pharmaceutical manufacturer and must possess all necessary documentation for importing this excipient into the destination country, including import permits and GMP compliance certificates.
