Quality management, quality control, and quality assurance are three interrelated concepts that are essential for ensuring the quality of products and services. Quality management is the overall approach that an organization takes to managing and improving the quality of its products or services. It encompasses both quality control and quality assurance, as well as other activities such as training employees, engaging with customers, and setting quality goals and objectives. According to World Health Organization, the term quality control refers to the sum of all procedures undertaken to ensure the identity and purity of a particular pharmaceutical. Quality control is an essential operation of the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to the apparent features of tablets, tablets must meet other physical specifications and quality standards. These include criteria for weight, weight variation, content uniformity, thickness, hardness, disintegration, and dissolution. Thus in this project, five types of paracetamol tablets from different companies which are widely used in the private pharmacies in Hilla city were subjected to quality control tests to indicate whether these products will fit to the standard criteria of the United States Pharmacopeia or not. The data indicated that all brands succeeded to pass most quality control tests with some exceptions.
