Dosage Units Uniformity Test

Whether a batch of the drug product meets quality specifications, it is the key that each unit dose must have uniformity active product ingredient (API). The uniformity of the dosage unit can be measured by one of two methods, weight variation or content uniformity. These two methods are applicable to both dosage forms containing a single active ingredient and dosage forms containing two or more active ingredients.
