    This study evaluates the follow-on formula for infants. These products are available under several brands in the Ivorian market. In order to verify their conformity to the WHO standards a post-market control by gravimetric method and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry is executed to evaluate the quantity and quality of fat products contained in the milks of brands available in Côte d’Ivoire. Out of the nine brands of milks analyzed, only four of them were close to the values revealed by their manufacturers, whereas the other products had their values below their respective indications

    Le chlorhydrate de tramadol est un mĂ©dicament analgĂ©sique essentiel utilisĂ© efficacement contre les douleurs modĂ©rĂ©es Ă  sĂ©vères, souvent associĂ©es Ă  la chirurgie. Il est couramment prescrit en milieu hospitalier en CĂ´te d’Ivoire conduisant Ă  d’importantes importations de diverses formes pharmaceutiques. Une mĂ©thode de Chromatographie Liquide a Ă©tĂ© validĂ©e et appliquĂ©e Ă  l’analyse des formes orales sèches (comprimĂ©s et gĂ©lules) Ă  base de chlorhydrate de tramadol disponible dans les officines de pharmacie, dans le but de lutter efficacement contre l’importation de mĂ©dicaments de mauvaise qualitĂ© et les contrefaçons. La mĂ©thode d’analyse a Ă©tĂ© validĂ©e sur une colonne octadĂ©cylsylanisĂ©e (250 mmĂ—4,6 mm, 5 ÎĽm) utilisant une phase mobile constituĂ©e du mĂ©lange acĂ©tonitrile/tampon phosphate (60 :40, v/v). Le dĂ©bit a Ă©tĂ© fixĂ© Ă  0,5 ml/min et la longueur d’onde de dĂ©tection UV Ă  226 nm. L’application de la mĂ©thode aux Ă©chantillons de mĂ©dicaments Ă  base de chlorhydrate de tramadol a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© des sous-dosages, non conformes aux spĂ©cifications.   English title: Validation of tramadol hydrochloride dosage method in dried pharmaceutical forms commercialized in Cote d’Ivoire Tramadol hydrochloride is an essential analgesic drug used effectively against pain. It is constantly prescribed in hospital CĂ´te d’Ivoire leading to imports of various pharmaceutical presentation in the country. HPLC method has been validated for the analysis of tramadol hydrochloride tablets and capsules in order to combat the importation of counterfeits. The method was carried out on an octadecylsylanized column (250 mm Ă— 4.6 mm, 5 ÎĽm) using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile / phosphate buffer (60:40, v/v). The flow rate was set at 0.5 ml / min and the UV detection wavelength at 226 nm. Application of the method to drugs samples containing tramadol hydrochloride revealed underdosages, not meeting specificatio
