A stability-indicating HPLC procedure for determination of diltiazem hydrochloride in extemporaneously compounded oral liquids

The stability of drugs in solid forms such as powders, tablets and capsules is usually determined very thoroughly by the drug's manufacturer. Based on stability study data, the shelf-life of a drug substance or a drug product is assigned.
