Screening of Marketed Formulations of Shatavari Tablets to Establish Pharmaceutical Equivalence
Abstract
Using an in vitro dissolving research, compare the pharmacological equivalent of three brands of Shatavari tablets sold in India. According to IP rules, the dissolution was performed using apparatus I (the paddle device). According to the Indian Pharmacopoeia, evaluation of physicochemical characteristics including weight variation test, content uniformity test, hardness test, friability test, disintegration test, and dissolution test was conducted. For weight fluctuation, content homogeneity, hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolving study, all brands complied with official specifications. Two out of the three brands of Shatavari tablets achieved more than 75% dissolve in just 60 minutes, according to the dissolution profile. Out of three brands of Shatavari tablets, the results indicated that two of them had satisfactory quality and had passed all of the pharmacopoeia's tests.
