FORMULATION , EVALUATION AND STABILIZATION OF PARACETAMOL SYRUP

Abstract

In Liquid oral formulation, the stability of the active and inactive ingredients is of major issue for the formulator. Usually active ingredients are less stable in aqueous formulation than in solid dosage form. Hence it is important to stabilize and preserve the liquid oral formulation which contains water. In this paper we formulate stabilized Paracetamol syrup. Paracetamol is an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug. The syrup was evaluated with respect to appearance, pH, taste and assay.
