The composition of impurities allows one to draw conclusions regarding the manufacturing of the products and its adulteration, which is becoming widespread in all countries of the world therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the quality of pharmaceutical products and to determine the concentration of foreign impurities at all stages of production from raw materials to finished medicinal forms [1, 2].
