Abstract

Metformin hydrochloride is an oral anti-diabetic drug used mainly to treat type-II Diabetes Mellitus and it is widely available in different brands in the market, making it challenging to select the safe, effective and economic one. The endeavour of this experiment was to compare and assess the quality standard of the Jan Aushadhi medicine with a different brand of the metformin hydrochloride tablet available in India. For evaluation of the quality of tablet of different brands, Indian Pharmacopoeial parameters like weight variation, dissolution tests and drug assay were executed. The results of all these parameters of different brands were compared with the pharmacopoeial limits. Keywords: Metformin hydrochloride, Dissolution, Weight variation, Drug AssayCite this ArticleNirav Panchal, Pratik Tailor, Ashish Mishra, Shailesh Shah.
