The method is checked by validation and simultaneously the product is subjected to stability meanwhile. • Meanwhile, the formulation development department works in optimization of the drug by changing the level of excipients in it. Every time they change something, a new batch is generated for testing - which would be eventually analyzed by routine development group, who should follow the method created by method development team.

So, it is the responsibility of method development person to develop method to analyze the formulation product. • Method is developed for dissolution (either UV or HPLC), Assay (same assay method will be used for content uniformity, blend uniformity, etc.) and related substances. • Once the method is developed to identify the drug present in the formulation. The method is checked by validation and simultaneously the product is subjected to stability meanwhile. • Meanwhile, the formulation development department works in optimization of the drug by changing the level of excipients in it. Every time they change something, a new batch is generated for testing - which would be eventually analyzed by routine development group, who should follow the method created by method development team.
