to thank numerous people whose consistent support and guidance
has been the standing pillar in the architecture of this report.
To begin with, I express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Abhijit Sengupta,
Director & Principal of our college, GNIPST. Thanks to Ms. Jeenatara
Begum & Mr. Samrat Bose, Training & Placement Incharge (Asst.
Prof. of GNIPST); Dr. Lopamudra Datta & Dr. Sumana Chatterjee
(HODs); my mentor Dr. Prerona Saha (Dept. of Pharmaceutical
Chemistry, GNIPST) and all other teachers of our college, who gave
me support, encouragement and valuable suggestions throughout
the tenure of my training days.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Partha Adhikari
(Executive HR & Training Coordinator),who provided me with the
opportunity to undergo training at Albert David Limited, Kolkata.
SMALL VOLUME PARENTERALS (SVP)
Parenteral dosage forms are intended for administration as
injections or infusions. Common injection types are intravenous (IV),
intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC). Others may include
intraperitoneal (IP), subdural (SD), etc.
The dept. of SVP is concerned with the formulation of parenteral
drugs. They come in 2 forms :
1. AMPOULES : A small scaled glass capsule containing a liquid,
especially measured qty. for injection.
2. VIALS : A vial is a small glass, or plastic vessel, or a small bottle,
often used to store medicament as liquid powder, or capsule.
They can also be scientific sample vessels.
AMPOULES VIALS
RULES TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE SVP :
1. Wear shoecap.
2. Wear apron.
3. Do not leave your hair open.
4. Wear hair mask
The SVP dept. has 5 floors, thatare divided into 5 working areas :

himself/herself
DISADVANTAGES OF ORAL LIQUIDS :
 Can’t be administered to an unconscious patient
 Delayed onset of action
 Not suitable in emergency cases
 Sometimes the medication itself is the causeof certain problems of the
GIT, which might lead to stomach ulcers

REVERSEOSMOSIS (RO) PLANT
RO is a water purification technology that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove
ions, molecule and large particles from drinking water. In RO, an applied pressure is used to
overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property.
RO can remove many types of dissolved and suspended particles/species fromwater,
including bacteria, and is used in both, industrial processes and in the production of payable
water.
PROCEDURES :
 Raw water sourcebore well (Coarsestrainer)
 Pre-treatment (Online coagulant, Polyelectrolyte & Hypochloritedosing)
 Pre-treated in 20klHDPETank
 Oxidation (Oxidation chamber), Filtration (MGF)
 StorageTank (100kl) RCC with epoxy-coated inner walls

production or manufacturing of goods and the place, wherethe raw
materials are kept or stored.
STEPS INVOLVED IN RMS :

Bulk drugs aresubstances represented for use in the compounding,
manufacturing, processing, or packaging of a drug, that become active
ingredient or finished dosage form of the drug. However, “bulk drug
substance” shallnot include intermediates that are used in the synthesis of
substances.
At the Bulk Drug Dept. of Albert David Limited, Kolkata, the preparation of the
API, Sodium Stibogluconate(SSB) was witnessed.
SSG was prepared via chemical route, where all vessels were in contact with
the final productwhich are made up of Stainless Steel (SS).

excipients intended for topical application, or application on skin. Itis
generally, a semi-solid, viscous preparation.
TYPES OF OINTMENTS :
 Non-Medicated : These ointments do not contain any drug(s). They may
be used as emollients, protectants. Eg.- Petroleum Jelly.
 Medicated : These ointments contain drug(s) which show any local or
systemic effects. They may be of the following types :
 Dermatologic Ointments
 Ophthalmic Ointments
 Vaginal Ointments
 Nasal Ointments

 Raw material storageat storageroomat roomtemp.
 Charging
 In-Processmaterialstorageat storagetank
 Tub filling
 Hand packing
 Master box packing and qyarantine
 Defective product
 Dispatch
CONCLUSION
Although the six days of our training at Albert David Limited, Kolkata flew very
quickly, with the cooperation of the authorities and all the personnel, I have
learnt and gathered a lot, about the pharmaceutical industrial field, which will
be helpful for me all the in many aspects. I am thankfulto the respective
authorities of Albert David Limited, who cordially received us and initiated our
curiosity and interest regarding the relevant subjects. I am pleased with
everyone’s behaviour and way of approach at the industry. Thus, I have
completed my training with great satisfaction, and hope that the feeling is
mutual.
Thank You.
