ABSTRACT
Despite a company's best efforts to design, manufacture and sell safe and reliable products, the possibility still exists that dangerously defective products may reach the customers. These products may cause accidents,leading to adverse verdicts in product liability litigations.There for Quality management of Complaints and Product recalls are essential to ensure the safety of customer.

ABSTRACT:
Food additives have been much important in food product manufacturing. Additive” became almost synonymous with “adulteration. Food additives are used in the food product toprovide nutrition,to maintain product quality and freshness, to look good. There are many type of food additives are available in the market like anti-oxidants, preservatives,Emulsifier and stabilizers,Sweetener, etc.The “E” number system, intended to assist as a short code for some of the lengthier chemical names and to indicate common European safety approval.

ABSTRACT
An isocratic reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for estimation of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine in bulk dosage and in marketed formulations has been devised and validated. The chromatographic separation achieved on shodex c18-4E column (5µm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm) and  acetonitrile: methanol: ammonium acetate buffer (PH- 5.5) in the ratio of 25:55:20 v/v. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and the UV detection was identified at 225nm.The retention times for montelukast sodium and levocetirizine was found to be 5.15 min and 3.12 min respectively. The linearity of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine is 10 -50µg/ml with the correlation co efficient 0.99 respectively. The validation parameters such as accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, Robustness, ruggedness were performed as per ICH guidelines. This method can be used for routine analysis of montelukast sodium and levocetirizine in bulk and marketed dosage forms.

ABSTRACT:
India suffers from the highest number of deaths - around 1,05,000 in absolute terms annually- due to road accidents in the world owing to poor infrastructure and dangerous driving habits according to the World Health Organisation¹. Calling road fatalities an "epidemic" that will become the world's fifth biggest killer by 2030². It is said that 90% of deaths on the world's roads occur in low and middle-income countries (21.5 and 19.5 per lakh of population, respectively) though they have just 48% of all registered vehicles.

Abstract:
Two methods are described for the simultaneous determination of Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone in binary mixture. The first method was based on UV-spectrophotometric determination of two drugs, using simultaneous equation method. It involves absorbance measurement at 282.5 nm (λmax of Chlorzoxazone) and 248.0 nm (λmax of Paracetamol) in methanol; linearity was obtained in the range of 5 – 25 μg.mL-1 for both the drugs. The second method was based on HPLC separation of the two drugs in reverse phase mode using Promosil C18 column. Linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 100-500 μg.mL-1 for Paracetamol and 50-250 for  the Chlorzoxazone. Both these methods have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation and were validated according to ICH guidelines.

ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to investigate the in-vitro release properties of Ziprasidone hydrochloride monohydrate from different topical vehicles. By the unique advantages over the traditional drug delivery, transdermal drug delivery is becoming increasingly important and has got a vital interest in pharmaceutical industries. An in vitro release experiment was designed to reveal the rate of release of ziprasidone hydrochloride monohydrate from four different topical vehicles: (i) cream; (ii) a gel; (iii) an ointment (iv) pronoisomal gel. In vitro release of ziprasidone hydrochloride monohydrate from the four bases was monitored spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 318 nm. In vitro release study results showed that the release of drug from vehicles ranks according to the following order: gel> proniosomal gel> cream> ointment. Gel base showed considerably higher drug release than other vehicles. Five types of chemical enhancers was used in the study and among them tulsi oil was the best enhancer. As we increase the concentration of chemical enhancer the release of drug also increases. By monitoring and attempting to explain the many possible reasons for the different rates of drug release from the vehicles, it was hope that the experiment would confer essential information concerning factors affecting the release of drugs from topical formulations.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to provide the clear procedure for technology transfer process in pharmaceutical industry. Technology transfer is a process to transfer information and technologies necessary to manufacture quality drug product consistently or technology transfer is the process of taking an invention from its inception in a laboratory to a commercialized product.  Investment in R&D is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for economic growth. Productivity gains only result from the natural diffusion of innovation to the marketplace (technology transfer). Responsible departments for successful technology transfer of a product in pharmaceutical industry are R&D, Production, Engineering, QC and QA.

ABSTRACT:
The HPLC detectors are used to detect the solute present in the eluent comes from the HPLC column. There are various types of detectors available, but Detector selection in HPLC system is most valuable part in the solute detection. After comparison of all detector, find out which is the best detector for our solute analysis? Then Detector selection was carried out.  Comparisons of all detectors are done on the basis of the sensitivity of the detector for that particular solute.

Abstract:
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and worsening of heart failure(HF). Recently developed class of drug, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) block the RAS at the receptor level, and may therefore provide more complete blockade. Angiotensin II Receptor type 1 antagonists have been widely used in treatment of diseases like hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction and diabetic nephropathy. Their beneficial effects are related to inhibition of Angiotensin II by blockade of AT1 receptor. Valsartan is an orally active Angiotensin II receptor type 1 antagonist which causes reduction in blood pressure and is used in treatment of hypertension. It was first developed by Novartis and has wide market in the developed and the developing countries.
