Abstract
QUALITY EVALUATION OF SOME AZITHROMYCIN TABLETS COMMONLY AVAILABLE IN THE SYRIAN MARKET
Nour Saleh* and Ayat Abbood
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to assess the quality of some azithromycin tablets available in the Syrian market. Quality control tests (packaging, visual inspection, Weight Uniformity, Content Uniformity, Hardness, Friability, Disintegration, Dissolution test, and dissolution profiles comparison) were conducted on four different brands, one of them sourced from a foreign origin, with no license to import or local marketing. Tablets from local brands met the requirements for packaging and visual inspection. And all passed the weight uniformity test, with good hardness, acceptable disintegration time and friability. While the unlicensed brand failed to meet the requirements in two of these tests, packaging and visual inspection. All brands passed the assay and content uniformity tests except for one batch of the unlicensed brand that failed both tests. For the dissolution test, all brands met the requirements and released more than 80% in 30 minutes which was within the USP specification. Dissolution profiles comparison has confirmed that unlike the unlicensed brand, local brands showed batch to batch consistency and only two brands of the local were considered for interchangeability.
