How Vanguard tests Tizanidine hydrochloride

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV purity and assay, LC-MS identity, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, HPLC retention time and a chloride test, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, plus residue on ignition, pH and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Tizanidine Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Tizanidine hydrochloride testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC-UV for purity and assay and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Tizanidine Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

Is the label claim for tizanidine stated as the salt or the base?

Tablet and capsule label claims are usually stated as tizanidine base, while the drug substance is the hydrochloride. Results can be reported either way using the molecular weights of the two forms.

Can tablets and capsules both be tested?

Yes. Tablets are ground and capsule contents emptied, then both are extracted and assayed against a tizanidine hydrochloride reference standard.
