本局於民國78年度由全省各縣市抽購國產及進口安比西林(Ampicillin)口服膠囊裝劑共50件,其中國產45件,進口2件,依據日本抗生物質醫藥品基準解說(MRAP)上所載之分光光度法及微生物法測定其力價,結果有14件未達合格標準(皆為國產)不合格率為28.0%。
In order to understand the potency of ampicillin capsules, fifty samples (48 domestic, 2 imported) were purchased from different counties and cities in Taiwan during 1989 fiscal year. All of the samples were determined by the cylinder-plate method and optical method as described in the Minimum Requirements for Antibiotic Products of Japan. The results showed that 14 samples (28.0%) failed to meet the potency requirement of the government regulation (90-120%).
