Author(s): Rajia Sultana Nijhu

Abstract: This study is a constructive evaluation of the quality of different Metronidazole brands available in the Bangladesh market. The objective is to determine whether the samples meet the manufacturer's specifications. To achieve this, six different brands of Metronidazole were randomly selected, and their physical and chemical properties were evaluated through various tests, such as weight variation, hardness, friability, thickness, disintegration, dissolution, and in vitro assay dissolution. The study also examined the relationship between hardness and dissolution to determine the drug's bioavailability. The results of the study indicate that all the samples met the USP requirements, passing the weight variation, friability, dissolution, and disintegration tests. This study provides crucial and constructive information about the quality of different Metronidazole brands available in the Bangladesh market, which can be used by manufacturers to improve their products and by consumers to make informed decisions about their medication.
