Amoxycillin products were evaluated for quality by liquid chromatography at the Drug Analysis and Research Unit (DARU), University of Nairobi. Thirty three of these were capsule formulations and 24 were dry suspensions. Three capsule formulations failed the limits on content. The amoxycillin content in one suspension product was below the limit, while in two other products it dropped below 80% on storage at 25°C for 7 days.
