Quality Parameter Assessment for Ciprofloxacin Tablets Commercially available in Gondar Town, North-West Ethiopia

Abstract

Background: Pharmaceuticals play a vital role in protecting human health and encouraging wellness. The safety, efficacy, and consistency of the drugs should, however, be maintained to provide a desired pharmacological effect. The accessibility and utilization of substandard and counterfeit ciprofloxacin products in the market may lead to risk of treatment failure and microbial resistance. This study was conducted to assess the quality and physicochemical equivalence of nine brands of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets sold in Gondar town, Ethiopia.
