Title : TEST PROCEDURE OF TRIBEN-P VET BOLUS

01. DESCRIPTION : An off white elongated bolus having embossed ‘ETHICAL’ on

one side and a break line on another side.

02. IDENTIFICATION : In-house

03. AVERAGE WEIGHT : 4200.0 mg  1.0%

Collect 20 bolus randomly, weigh and record. Calculate the
average weight as follow:

Total weight
Average weight = -------------------
Number (20)

04. UNIFORMITY OF WEIGHT :
05. LOSS ON DRYING
Weigh 20 bolus selected at random and determine the average
weight. Not more than two of the individual weights deviate from
the average weight by more than 5.0% and none deviates by more
than twice of 5.0%.
: 3.5% to 4.5%
Powder 5 bolus and take 1 gm of powder. Determine the LOD
at 105º C by using a Digital Moisture Analyzer.

06. LENGTH : 39.0 to 39.1 mm

Check the length by using a Digital Slide Calipers or equivalent.
07. WIDTH : 15.0 to 15.1 mm
Check the width by using a Digital Slide Calipers or equivalent.
08. THICKNESS : 8.0 to 8.1 mm
Check the thickness by using a Digital Slide Calipers or equivalent.
09. HARDNESS : 3.0 to 6.0 Kg/cm2
Collect 5 bolus and check the hardness of the bolus by using
suitable hardness tester and record.

Title : TEST PROCEDURE OF TRIBEN-P VET BOLUS

10. LEAK TEST : Submerge 5 Strips in water containing 0.2% w/v methylene blue
or any suitable color in leak test Apparatus. Maintain the strips
below the surface of water by means of a suitable device such as metal
disc or desiccator shelf. Apply the vacuum of 380 mm of mercury for
at least 2 minutes in the desiccator. Release the pressure slowly ﴾taking at
least 30 seconds﴿ and take out the strips. Wipe them to dry with clean dry
lint free cloth or tissue paper. De-foil the blister strips and observe for
blue spots/moistness/water inside pockets.
If blue spots / moistness or water is not found inside the pockets, strips
are passed for the test.

11. STRENGTH : Each bolus contains Triclabendazole INN 900 mg

12. ASSAY : 90.0 to 110.0% of labeled amount of Triclabendazole

PROCEDURE:

Weigh and powder 10 bolus. Transfer powder equivalent to 200 mg of Triclabendazole in a conical
flask and add 40 ml of Glacial Acetic Acid and shake to dissolve. Then add 2 drops of Crystal violet
solution as indicator. Titrate with 0.1 M Perchloric Acid V to the end point.

Each ml of 0.1M Perchloric Acid VS is equivalent to 35.97 mg of Triclabendazole

Calculate the content by the formula:
Content of Triclabendazole, in mg /Bolus

V × F× 35.97
