The obtained Carbamazepine cocrystals were evaluated for parameters like Visual morphology, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, xray diffractometry, contact angle, drug content uniformity, flow properties and in vitro drug release testing. A comparison of the cocrystal characteristics was made with a physical mixture of Carbamazepine with itaconic acid inorder to confirm an interaction at a molecular level between the drug and coformer
