[Note from the Secretariat. The monograph on Dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir 45
disoproxil tablets is proposed for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia.] 46
The draft proposal is based on information submitted to The International Pharmacopoeia and 47 found in the scientific literature. 48
Being the first public standard, the monograph is expected to play an important role in 49
ensuring access to safe, effective and quality assured Dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir 50 disoproxil tablets worldwide. Manufacturers of this product, regulatory authorities, 51
procurement agencies and other stakeholders are therefore invited to provide their feed-back 52 to the Secretariat of The International Pharmacopoeia. If not already done, manufacturers are 53
also invited to submit information and samples of their products. With their support 54 manufacturers will help to ensure that the proposed monograph adequately controls the quality 55 of the products they manufacture. 56
The World Health Organization (WHO) develops, establishes, and promotes international 57
standards following the mandate given by WHO’s currently 194 Member States. WHO’s norms 58 and standards are developed for adoption as legally binding national regulations and to serve 59 as a basis for national standards and technical regulations. Besides, they play a prominent 60
role for WHO Prequalification of medicine as well as UN/WHO procurement activities. 61
For further information regarding the submission of samples, please contact Dr Herbert 62 Schmidt at [email protected] .] 63

DOLUTEGRAVIR, LAMIVUDINE AND TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL 64
FUMARATE TABLETS 65
(DOLUTEGRAVIRI, LAMIVUDINE ET TENOFOVIRI DISOPROXILI 66
FUMARATI COMPRESSI) 67
68
Category. Antiretroviral (Integrase inhibitor; Nucleoside/Nucleotide reverse transcriptase 69
inhibitor; Nucleoside/Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor). 70
Storage. Dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil tablets should be kept in a tightly 71
closed container. 72
Labelling. The designation of the container should state that the active ingredient, dolutegravir, 73
is in sodium form and that the quantity should be indicated in terms of the equivalent amount 74
of dolutegravir. The quantities of the two other active ingredients should be indicated in terms 75
of the amounts of lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. 76
Additional information. Strength in the current WHO Model List of Essential Medicines: 50 77
mg Dolutegravir, 300 mg Lamivudine and 300 mg Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. 78
Requirements 79
Comply with the monograph for Tablets. 80
Definition. Dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil tablets contain Dolutegravir 81
sodium, Lamivudine and Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. They contain not less than 90.0% and 82
not more than 110.0% of the amount of dolutegravir (C20H19F2N3O5), lamivudine (C8H11N3O3S) 83
and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (C19H30N5O10P, C4H4O4) stated on the label. 84
Manufacture. The manufacturing process and the product packaging are designed and 85
controlled so as to minimize the moisture content of the tablets. They ensure that, if tested, the 86
tablets would comply with a water content limit of not more than 50 mg/g when determined as 87
described under 2.8 Determination of water by the Karl Fischer method, Method A, using about 88
0.5 g of the powdered tablets. 89

Identity test. Carry out the test as described under 1.14.4 High-performance liquid 90
chromatography using the conditions and solutions given under “Assay”. The retention time 91
of the three principal peaks in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) correspond to the 92
retention time of the corresponding peaks due to dolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir 93
disoproxil fumarate in the chromatograms obtained with solutions (2), (3) and (4). 94
Dissolution. Carry out the test described under 5.5 Dissolution test for solid oral dosage forms, 95
using as the dissolution medium 900 mL of dissolution buffer, pH 6.8, 0.25% SDS TS and 96
rotating the paddle at 60 revolutions per minute. At 30 minutes, withdraw a sample of 10 mL 97
of the medium through an in-line filter (sample (A)). Add 10 mL of the dissolution medium, 98
maintained at 37.0 °C (+/- 0.5 °C), to each dissolution vessel and continue the dissolution for 99
a further 30 minutes. At 60 minutes withdraw again a sample of 10 mL of the dissolution 100
medium through an in-line filter (sample (B)). Dilute 5.0 mL each of sample (A) and sample 101
(B) to 25.0 mL with diluent (2), described under “Assay”, and use the obtained solution as 102
solution (1) and solution (2). 103
Measure the concentration of lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in solution (1) and 104
the concentration of dolutegravir in solution (2). Carry out the test as described under 1.14.4 105
High-performance liquid chromatography using the chromatographic conditions and solutions 106
as described under “Assay”. 107
For each of the tablets tested, calculate the total amount each of lamivudine, tenofovir 108
disoproxil fumarate and dolutegravir in the medium from the results obtained, using the 109
declared content of dolutegravir sodium (C20H18F2NaO5) in dolutegravir sodium RS, the 110
declared content of lamivudine (C8H11N3O3S) in lamivudine RS and the declared content of 111
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (C19H30N5O10P.C4H4O4) in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate RS. 112
Each mg of dolutegravir sodium is equivalent to 0.950 mg of dolutegravir. 113
Evaluate the results as described under 5.5 Dissolution test for solid oral dosage forms, 114
Acceptance criteria. The amount of lamivudine (C8H11N3O3S) and tenofovir disoproxil 115
fumarate (C19H30N5O10P.C4H4O4) released after 30 minutes is not less than 80% (Q) of the 116
amounts declared on the label and the amount of dolutegravir (C20H18F2N3O5) released after 117
