The aim of this research was to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of Diazepam tablet 10 mg, coming from hospitals of Social Security (ESSALUD) and the Ministry of Health (MINSA) of Trujillo Province. In order to accomplish the objectives, the following physicochemical characteristics were determined: description of the product, average weight, breaking strength, dissolution test, identification and quantification of active principle. The results obtained are that the descriptive characteristics of the tablets obtained by the Peruvian state present a round shape, with convex faces, with a groove in one of its sides, light green color. The average weights of the samples are within the relative standard deviation with a value lower than 2%, except for sample 3. In the dissolution test, the average percentages of each lot fluctuate between 91.86% and 103.56 %. In the identificatio...
