Quantitation of metronidazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms using high-performance liquid chromatography. 1984

V Das Gupta

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the quantitation of metronidazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms has been developed. The method is accurate and precise with an RSD of 0.68%, based on six readings. The excipients present in various dosage forms did not interfere with the assay procedure. A solution of metronidazole decomposed using heat showed 0% potency.
