El objetivo del presente trabajo consistio en desarrollar y validar dos metodos analiticos por espectrofotometria y cromatografia liquida de alta resolucion para aplicarlo al control de la calidad y estudio de estabilidad del polvo para suspension; y comparar estadisticamente los resultados obtenidos por ambos metodos. Los metodos analiticos fueron validados mediante el analisis de los parametros: linealidad, exactitud, precision (repetibilidad, precision intermedia)  y especificidad. Los resultados obtenidos en las validaciones de ambos metodos fueron adecuados. Ambos metodos analiticos resultaron lineales, exactos, precisos y especificos en el rango de concentraciones estudiadas. Se demostro que no existian diferencias significativas entre ambos metodos analiticos, pudiendose emplear ambos metodos en el control de la calidad del producto terminado.

The objective of the present work was to develop and validate two analytical methods by spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography to apply it to the quality control and stability study of the powder for suspension; And to statistically compare the results obtained by both methods. The analytical methods were validated by analyzing the parameters: linearity, accuracy, precision (repeatability, intermediate precision) and specificity. The results obtained in the validations of both methods were adequate. Both analytical methods were linear, exact, precise and specific in the range of concentrations studied. It was demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the two analytical methods, both methods being used to control the quality of the finished product.
