The Stability of Penicillin in Sugar-Coated Tablets

Abstract

Summary Figures have been presented to show the stability for 3 months at 38° C. and at room temperature (18° to 24° C.) for 2 years of penicillin tablets sugar-coated by conventional pan methods. Such sugar-coated penicillin tablets have been shown to withstand a relative humidity of 75 per cent, at 25° C. for at least 2 months. The results presented show that conventional sugar-coating does not interfere with the in vivo absorption of the penicillin from the tablets.
