A process for preparing penicillin G procaine comprises the steps of
introducing inactive ingredients into a first mixing tank and sterilizing
the mixture of inactive ingredients in the first mixing tank. A procaine
hydrochloride is dissolved in a second mixing tank, and the contents of
the second mixing tank are added to the first mixing tank through a
sterile filter. A solution of penicillin G potassium is introduced to the
first mixing tank through a sterile filter, and the contents of the first
mixing tank are mixed so that the procaine hydrochloride reacts with the
penicillin G potassium forming penicillin G procaine. The resulting
suspension is transferred through a homogenizer to a holding tank and
penicillin G procaine is filled into a container.
