A REVIEW ON STABILITY INDICATING ASSAYS

Ashraf Unnisa*, Dr. Osman Ahmed, Meher Afrin and Mohammed Akthar Sulthana

ABSTRACT

A pharmaceutical stability test is a systemic test carried out on pharmaceutical products to show that drug quality is affected by various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. The stability of drugs may be adversely affected owing to physical changes such as abrasion and temperature variations. Drug stability is the ability of manufacturers to ensure that their products meet the requirements for approval. Current product growth may benefit from the selection of excipients, formulations, and container closing methods. Some medicines are photosensitive, so their stability may be assessed by comparing how well they hold up when exposed to light.
