In addition to the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia, the statements applicable to Tablets of the British Pharmacopoeia, modified as stated below, apply to those tablets that are the subject of an individual monograph in the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary).
DEFINITION
Tablets of the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary) are usually solid, right circular cylinders the end surfaces of which are flat or convex and the edges of which may be bevelled except that those that weigh 5 g or more are frequently elongated or biconical.
Disintegration
Apply test A or test B, Appendix XII A1, as appropriate. When using test B, test 6 tablets either by using two basket-rack assemblies in parallel or by repeating the procedure. To pass the test, all six of the tablets must have disintegrated.
