| contents | <p><span lang="EN-IN">Background: Dexamethasone 0.1% ophthalmic drops are widely used for ocular therapy. Physical parameters like drop volume, pH, and packaging integrity are critical for safe use. Objective: To evaluate the physical characteristics of locally manufactured and imported Dexamethasone 0.1% ophthalmic drops available in Kabul. Methods: Seven brands were collected from local pharmacies. Dropper calibration, total volume, pH, and labeling were evaluated according to British Pharmacopoeia (2023) standards. Results: Most samples met pharmacopeia standards. Samples F<sub>6</sub> failed volume criteria; samples F<sub>2</sub>, F<sub>4</sub>, F<sub>5</sub>, and F<sub>6</sub> exceeded acceptable pH limits. Packaging deficiencies were noted in F<sub>1</sub> and F<sub>3</sub>. Conclusion: While most drops were compliant, a few posed risks due to pH or volume deviations. Strict quality control is recommended.</span></p> |
