Aim & Objective: To study the organo leptic & physico-chemical characters of TBK and VTG. Methods & Materials: Organoleptic characters and physicchemical analysis like pH, loss on drying, hardness test, disintegration test, friability etc. was done as per the standard protocol. Results: Analytical parameters results obtained were all within the permissible limit. The disintegration time was (36min) in VTG and (39mins) in TBK.
