Determination of photolytic degradation of Adelax tablet-Flupentixol Dihydrochloride 0.5mg BP and Melitracen Hydrochloride10 mg INN)

Abstract

In this experiment we find out the photolytic effect on Flupentixol dihydrochloride and Melitracen hydrochloride combination drug. We conduct several tests to observe the effect and compare the sample after light exposure in various conditions with the control tablets which were not exposed to light. We determine the concentration (mg/ml) or potency from the absorbance of each samples. It was found that the concentration (mg/ml) or potency of Flupentixol dihydrochloride and Melitracen hydrochloride gradually decreased due to the exposure of light.
