Abstract
The objective of this study is to analysed force
degradation studies by treating the different brands of
Paracetamol under hydrolytic (acidic and basic), photolytic nd
thermal stress condition by using spectrophotometer, as define
under International Conference on Harmonisation
guidelineQ1A(R2).
According to specification of United state of pharmacopoeia,
the content official limit of not less than (98%) and not more
than (110%) the label amount. Our hypothesis was that when
all the brands of paracetamol (pacimol, febrex and pyrigesic)
where exposed to different degradation parameters. The result
of study conclude that when different brand of paracetamol
where treated with 0.1N HCl and 0.1N NaOH degradation was
observe in all the three brands. Whereas when the three
brands were expose to ultraviolet light slight degradation
where observed while no degradation is observe when expose
to heat.
