SIOFOR DRUG ANALYSIS FOR THE FORENSIC CHEMISTRY PRACTICE

Abstract

Siofor (metformin hydrochloride) is widely used to maintain weight in the second type of diabetes and as a complex treatment of obesity, as well as a slimming agent in biologically active supplements under various names. The presence of metformin hydrochloride with the strong effect of reducing sibutramine in Reduksin Forte capsules, taking it together with other disproportionate drugs causes an increase in cases of acute poisoning. In such cases, in order to provide quick medical assistance to patients, in order to obtain quick and accurate results in forensic chemistry practice, specific chemical toxicological analysis conditions are needed. The results of the analysis of Siofor (metformin hydrochloride) presented in this scientific article by thin layer chromatography and UV-spectrophotometry methods are closely related to forensic chemistry practice.
