Department of Pharmacy, Niigata Prefectural Muikamachi Hospital, Japan.

To improve the disintegration test for vaginal tablets described in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), a monitoring apparatus was added, and tested with seven effervescent and five non-effervescent tablets. A tablet was placed on the metal disc of the BP disintegration apparatus, and the guided plate was placed on the tablet. The guided plate moved downward smoothly in a cylinder as the tablet disintegrated. The movement was recorded by using a kymograph. The end-point and process of disintegration of the tablet were automatically recorded and the results obtained suggest that the modified test is a useful tool for the quality control of vaginal tablets.
