After mixing these active and inactive ingredients, tablets were manufactured by direct compression method. We evaluated the formulation by pharmacopeial and non pharmacopeial methods such as hardness,thickness, friability, disintegration test, weight variation test, content uniformity and assay. The results were found satisfactory. The individual weights, average weights, thickness, disintegration tablets met the limits specified in BP and USP. Hardness, friability, assay and content uniformity also met the specified limits.
