The goal of this study is to demonstrate the need for market surveillance for brand paracetamol suspension registered in Kenya in order to ensure that only high-quality suspension are sold both within and beyond the nation and also for chemical equivalency and bioavailability. British Pharmacopeia will be use as reference for all analysis that will be experimented. The sample will be collected from community pharmacy or chemist around Chuka town randomly and sample size will be calculated using statistical equation. The paracetamol suspension will be identified using a UV- VIS detector, and different brands will be tested and content of active pharmaceutical will be calculated and compared with label claims and find if they are within tolerance. Any defects discovered will be reported to National Pharmacy and Poison Board for implementations of Good Manufacturing Practices to companies that have such defects. Market surveillance is critical for judging the quality of various brands of paracetamol suspension, as well as for narrowing the problem relating to high content of active component concentration in the suspension and improvement of the market of Kenya made paracetamol by improving its quality.
