Five different brands of the acetaminophen tablets (paracetamol tablets) were randomly collected from the different pharmacy shops present in the sangli district. To perform this experimental work various official books like USP and BP was used to determine the in vitro quality tests using various procedure as well as different analytical tests. In evaluation of different brands of paracetamol tablets we were perform determination of different parameters like weight variation, friability, hardness, drug content, identification test, disintegration time and dissolution profile. By performing weight variation and friability test we were fond that different brands show acceptable value.
