We never offer products that could damage our image and goodwill. VetCure Remedies stands by its top-notch quality, and we will maintain it forever. We can bear any loss but not any damage to our credibility. Our reputation is everything to us. We understand that if you have a long vision of a classic reputation, income is bound to come. So when you deal with VetCure Remedies, be assured that you are in the perfect hands.
We have a separate quality control department supervised by many approved expert staff. Our quality control laboratory checks and controls the quality and stability of raw materials as well as finished goods.
Quality Control
Our department of quality control is staffed with technicians responsible for the analytical testing of incoming raw materials and inspection of packaging components, including labeling. They conduct in-process testing where required, perform environmental monitoring, and inspect operations for compliance. Finally, they conduct the required tests on the finished dosage form.
Our Quality Control department is responsible, as part of its testing and inspection functions, for monitoring the environmental conditions under which products are manufactured and/or held.
The technical team is assisted by the installation of the most modern and sophisticated instruments such as:
– High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)
– High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph with PDA (HPLC)
– Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry
– UV-VIS Scanning Spectrophotometer
Our quality control laboratory has the following principal duties:
– To prepare detailed instructions in writing for carrying out each test and analysis.
– To release or reject each batch of raw materials, semi-finished products, packaging and labeling materials, and the final container in which drugs are to be packed.
– Sampling each herbal ingredient on the basis of the plant part used:
– Extract – Assay in boiling water containing Calcium Carbonate
– Roots – Identification by Transverse Section
– Stem – Identification by Transverse Section
– Fruit – Identification by T.S. depending upon the need
– Rhizome – Identification by T.S.
Analyzing for:
– Organoleptic Properties
– Color
– Pharmacology specified (Idiosyncrasy Test)
The efficacy of various ingredients is tested in-house and in external labs as required. Every ingredient used is strictly controlled to ensure that we produce standard products with desired results.
Routine and random checks are scheduled on finished goods, with each batch passing through terminal inspection to ensure confirmed checks. The policy is clear: any rejection in our factory is just a rejection; if it’s in the market, then it’s a disaster to our image and value much more than when it was in our premises. Quality control is the most important key to ensure what we produce and how we sell it.
The pharmacists, technicians, and chemists conduct tests for product safety, including organoleptic tests for taste and odor, physico-chemical properties such as pH, specific gravity, total dissolved solids, presence of heavy metals like lead, chromium, and arsenic (which should not exceed permissible levels), microbiological analysis for total bacterial count, pathogenic microorganisms like E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and phytochemical analysis for total bitters, total tannins, total flavonoids, and alkaloids. To maintain consistency, TLC and HPLC tests are conducted parallel to their parameters. Various toxicity tests are conducted to judge the safety by taking trials on rats and mice.
Quality Assurance
We always ensure that the product meets all applicable specifications and is manufactured according to international standards and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). SOPs are designed for all levels of production, and regular BMR and BPR are followed to maintain systematic production. Various checkpoints are defined to make regular and continuous checks during production. All production is interrelated through requisite forms and followed symmetrically. The complete hierarchy of the QA team is deputed from raw material dispensing until the final dispatch of the goods. A complete parallel team of 30 members works with full alertness to ensure that nothing passes by that can cause any harm to the reputation of the company.
Basic controls maintained at various stages
Before going into process raw materials are checked for:
– Name
– Reference Numbers
– Gross Weight, Tare Weight, Net Weight
– Product/Batch No.
– Signature and Date
– Pass Label
– All Records are Maintained
During Filling
Checking empty and filled jars and cartons for:
– Group weight
– Quality of sealing
– Individual filling variations
– Leakage if any
Tests During Packaging
Finished boxes are checked for:
– Quantity of overprinted matter on labels and boxes
– Box fill value for the first box of the batch and the first box after every break
Quarantine Tests (In comparison with the approved standard):
Liquids: Color, odor, and taste of the liquid are examined. Filtration and mixing are ensured.
Powder: Color, odor, and taste of the powder are examined. Particle size and mixing are ensured.
Working Conditions:
Sterility: All ingredients are provided with air locks, dust-free, and ventilated with air supply. Access to the manufacturing area is restricted to authorized personnel.
Working Space: Adequate working space and adequate room for the orderly placement of equipment and materials are provided to eliminate any risk of mix-up between different formulations and cross-contamination. In the storage area, separate space is provided for under-test, approved, and rejected materials.
Health, Clothing, and Sanitation of Workers: All personnel coming in direct contact with the products, including raw materials, are always free from contagious and obnoxious diseases and undergo periodic health check-ups. Just before entry to the manufacturing area, a change room with facilities for personal cleanliness is provided.
Medical Services we have provided:

– Medical examination of workers at the time of employment and periodic check-ups thereafter
– Facility for vaccination or other exigencies. We have a qualified physician for assessing the health status of personnel involved in the manufacturing and quality control of drugs.
Sanitation in the Manufacturing Premises: The manufacturing area is not used for any other purpose and is maintained clean and in an orderly manner, free from accumulated waste, dust, debris, etc. We always observe a routine sanitation program.
Equipments: All equipment used for the manufacturing of drugs are constructed, designed, installed, and maintained in a manner that minimizes contamination, such as physical, chemical, or physico-chemical contamination.
All raw materials are:
– Identified, and their containers are examined for damage and assigned control numbers.
– Stored at optimum temperatures and relative humidity.
– Systematically sampled by quality control personnel and checked for compliance with required standards of quality.
Manufacturing Operations and Controls: All manufacturing operations in our factory are carried out under the supervision of competent technical staff. All vessels, containers, and mechanical manufacturing equipment are conspicuously labeled with the name of the product and batch number.
Product Containers and Closures: All containers and closures comply with pharmacopoeia requirements. They are non-reactive (inert) in nature.
Our laboratories are equipped for:
– Formulations
– Quality Control
– Control Samples Analyses
– Microbiology
