Improving the constant weight rates of weighing bottles and evaporation dishes is beneficial to drug quality control. When different quantities of weighing bottles were dried under the same conditions, the greater the quantity is, the lower the constant weight rate will be. When quantities are controlled to be the same, weighing bottles that have been cooled for 50 minutes have higher constant weight rates than those cooled for half an hour. Without being affected by other factors, weighing bottles? constant weight rates are higher when the bottles are dried at the temperature of 180?C than 105?C. The rate increases when the bottled are dried for 8 hours instead of 5 hours. After soaking for 48 hours in the solution of 2% HNO3 + 6% HCl, the weighing bottles and evaporating dishes gain higher constant weight rates. Being more efficient, faster, economical and practical, this experiment has improved the method to increase constant weight rates of weighing bottles and evaporating dishes, without the need of auxiliary equipment, and thus increased the accuracy of drug weighing results.

This review describes the evolution and development of drug quality control throughout different times in history. A bibliographic research was conducted from the database JSTOR from the University of Costa Rica. This database contains information from academic journals and books from XIX to date. It covers different fields, such as anthropology, arts, biology, botany, health sciences, politics, pharmacy, history. Information was retrieved when the following words were present: pharmacy, quality, quality control, drugs, medicines, pharmacopoeia. In ancient history India, China, Greece, Egypt, Africa and America used different medicinal plants to cure or alleviate disease. In some of these regions, methods were developed to make medicinal preparations as safe and effective as possible. In ancient Greece, the need to have a complete knowledge of drugs to carry out their proper preparation and detect adulterations was emerging. In Europe there was a constant development in the field, from books containing simple lists of preparations and medicines to more complex pharmacopoeias that included quality of the medicines. In America, the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) first appeared in 1820. In Costa Rica, the Specialized Laboratory for Drug Analysis, actually the Laboratory for Analysis and Pharmaceutical Consulting (LAYAFA), was created in 1965, to ensure the quality and safety of medicines registered and marketed in Costa Rica. Differences between regulations and quality standards across centuries and countries, and their impact on the commercialization of medicines, have promoted regulations to harmonize the requirements related to different activities of the processes of manufacture, registration and quality control of medicines.

Background: A preliminary research about the relation of drug quality decrease through period of stored time by temperature and humidity at different geographic areas was carried on Aspirin pH8 intestine-disolved coated tablets, Vitamin C film coated tablets and Amoxcycillin capsules. Materials and method: Pharmaceuticals possessing same manufacture batch and date expire longer than experimental period preserved at Thuan An coastal area, Nam Dong mountainous region, flat country of Hue Province and Hue Drug Quality Control Centre, Vietnam. The change of temperature and humidity at drug stored pharmacies was recorded contineuosly. Monthly, these drugs were examed quality following Standards of Vietnam Pharmacopie Volumn III, edition 2002 and in-home Standards. Results: The decrease of drug quality happened earliest and strongest at Than An, then Nam Dong, sustained a severe elimate condition yearly. Especially, effect of humidity element on the drug decomposition was serious than temperature. The decrease of drug quality was also happened at Hue city but in gentle degree, while all drugs were still in good quality under the standard store condition at Drug Quality Control Centre (25oC, 60%). Conclusion: This research showed an importance of the temperature and humidity control during the store and delivery periods to maintain the drug quality sufficiently for treatment. Key words: drug quality, stored time, geographic areas, temperature, humidity
