Surveillance on the Quality of Oral Preparations of Spasmolytics, Antiviral Agents, Urologicals, Antidiabetic Agents and Antihyperlipidemic Agents in Taiwan, 2019 |
英文摘要 |
The 2019 surveillance project aimed to study the quality of oral preparations of spasmolytics, antivirals, urologicals, antidiabetic agents and antihyperlipidemic agents marketed in Taiwan. A total of 119 samples (96 domestic and 23 imported) were collected from hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, pharmaceutical firms and pharmaceutical manufacturers by the local health authorities from January to August 2019. All samples were subjected to quality control testing, including identification, assay, dissolution, uniformity of dosage units and organic impurity tests. The analytical methods applied were from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia and in-house methods from the manufactures with authorized specifications. The results indicated that three out of the 119 samples did not meet the required specifications, including one sample of tamsulosin hydrochloride tablets failed to meet the authorized specification of dissolution test, and two samples of gliclazide tablets failed to meet the requirements of dissolution test in Ch. P VIII, while one of them also failed to meet the authorized specification of drug content. The surveillance results of this project will be provided as reference for drug administration management. |
