Generic drugs, patent, metformin, evaluation, quality.

The use of generic or branded drugs is gaining attention globally, with governments promoting the use of generics over branded ones. Metformin hydrochloride, a first-line anti-diabetic drug, is used for treating type II diabetes, particularly in obese patients. Various brands of metformin are available, making it challenging to select an effective and economical option. This research aimed to compare and evaluate the performance of different marketed brands of generic and branded metformin tablets. Two 500 mg tablets were selected and evaluated for their physical and chemical parameters. The physicochemical equivalence of all brands was determined using official standards, including thickness, hardness, weight variation, friability, disintegration time, standard calibration curve, dissolution study, and drug content. The results showed that all brands were within acceptable range, following IP specifications. It is recommended that further research be conducted in different formulations to ensure product quality.
