ABSTRACT
Background: Experimental research has been conducted in order to have a comparative invitro dissolution profile of metronidazole tablet using variable dissolution medium (green tea, black tea and gastric medium). Objective: The purpose of accomplished work is to obtain a better knowledge regarding the prompt dissolution of metronidazole tablet in a respective dissolution medium in order to attain the most quick, rapid and profound therapeutic effect of the metronidazole tablet.

And after absorption and distribution and sometimes after metabolism tablet plays its actual role i.e. introducing pharmacological effect. But before starting this cycle tablet must have to dissolve first rapidly, maximally and properly in order to be called as therapeutically active and to increase patient compliance. So the dissolution is the main criteria to be focused in a drug’s life matrix for achieving accurate, intense and quick relief from illness. Therefore, here it has been concluded from the practical approach that black tea faster the beneficial reaction of metronidazole 400mg tablet and start the quick reaction as evaluate to green tea.
