The production of oral pharmaceuticals is a two-stage process. In the first stage, the physical tablets are generated through the mixing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients (IPI). After passing the quality control testing, the tablets are ready for the second stage. In the second stage, the finished oral pharmaceutical is packaged in preparation for delivery to the distribution network.

Finished tablets are put in a bulk product storage point where samples are drawn for further quality control testing an then packaged. Safely packaged for market, the finished product is forwarded to the finished product quarantine area.
