Abstract
Present pharmacopoeial requirements for uniformity of content of tablets and capsules are based on tests by attributes. A test for uniformity of content based on the root mean square deviation about target (ST) is more reliable than the pharmacopoeial tests and has the added convenience of using a single statistic to control both the mean content and the variation about the mean. Implications of the use of the statistic ST in uniformity requirements are discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
