    TLDR FT-Raman spectroscopy is effective for identifying drug polymorphs, ensuring quality and stability.
    The study compared the effectiveness of Fourier Transform-Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy in detecting polymorphism in Lamivudine and Finasteride drugs. The authors highlighted that FT-Raman spectroscopy provided sharp, well-resolved bands and did not suffer from sampling issues common in other techniques like X-ray powder diffraction. The results demonstrated that FT-Raman spectroscopy is advantageous for identifying polymorphic forms, ensuring drug quality and stability.
