A review on frequency of analytical techniques recommended by BP for specific formulations

Abstract

This study was conducted to develop a database of 209 formulations by identifying dosage form and categorizing assay types and sub types of each formulation from 1247 specific formulation monographs present in British Pharmacopoeia. The database showed hat Chromatographic techniques are the most common among all the assay types recommended by BP. After chromatography, titrimetric and spectroscopic techniques come respectively as the most recommended methods in drug analysis. The purpose of this study was to provide educational benefits by preparing a database. The database would be useful for students and analytical method developers.
