Abstract

A study on the stability of directly compressed oxytetracycline hydrochloride and diiodoquin tablets was preformed. A comparison was made between diiodoquin tablets prepared by direct compression and those prepared by wet granulation. T½ was determined using the calculated rate of reaction. The tablets were stored in amber coloured bottles for different periods. It was found that directly compressed tablets were more stable than those prepared by wet granulation method.
