Abstract
Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) is an important factor in Pharmaceutical development as it determines the strength, release of the API from SDFs, and stability of a pharmaceutical dosage form. Moreover, substandard and counterfeit drugs have been a major concern in recent days.Ciprofloxacin is a second-generation fluoroquinolone derivative that exerts its effects by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase (Topoisomerase II). It is used for the treatment of bacterial gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infections, controlling bronchitis and pneumonia caused by Gram negative bacteria.

In recent decades, the pharmaceutical industry has been experiencing excellent growth in both local and international market.In our present study, we have analyzed theCritical Quality Attributes (CQAs) including length, thickness, friability, weight variation, hardness test and disintegration time of Ciprofloxacin tablet to study whether the ciprofloxacin immediate release tablets of different pharmaceutical companies available in the Bangladeshi market to assess whether they are compliant to BP or USP guidelines in respect of physical parameters. We have also performed statistical analysis and found that that all the tablets from different brands are within the BP or USP requirements.
