what is the exact diff betwen the uniformity of weight &
uniformity of content?

Answer Posted / leeladhar

Uniformity of content-applies only where the declared quantity of active ingredient in tablets, capsules, oral powders, single-dose oral suspensions or suppositories is 5 mg or less or is 5% or less of the total formulation or, in the case of sugar-coated and enteric-coated tablets.
Uniformity of mass for single-dose preparations does not apply, or for powders for injection or intravenous infusions for which the declared content of active ingredient is 40 mg or less. The test applies to all single-dose suspensions for injection
