S.NO API CHARACTERISATION RESULTS
1 Physical Appearance a white to slightly pink crystalline powder
2 Melting point 138-148 ºC
3 Bulk density 0.396 gm/ml
4 Tapped Density 0.421 gm/ml
5 Carr’s index/Compressibility index 5.94
6 Hausner’s Ratio 1.063
Conclusion:
The value of compressibility index above 25%, 15-25%, less than10% indicates poor flowability, optimum flowability and high flowability respectively. As Efaverinz value is <10 so it exhibits good flow.

DRUG POLYMER INTERACTION STUDY: From the spectra of Efaverinz, combination of Efaverinz with excipient, it was observed that all characteristic peaks of Efaverinz were present in the combination spectrum, thus indicating compatibility of the drug and excipient.
