The Herbal medicines are obtained by using only raw vegetable active. Guarana (Paullinia cupana Kunth.) is used as an invigoranting and challenging due to the presence in the seeds of methylxanthines, especially caffeine and theobromine and theophylline lesser amount, and tannins. The test is an dissolution of the tests used in assessing the quality of these medicines and throught this you can evalueted the release of the active principle from a solid form in an environment that simulates the location of its absorption. This study aimed to evaluete the behavior of dissolution of capsules and tablets containinf guarana. This study investigated initially, spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods for quantification of tannins and methylxanthines in pharmaceutical forms and the means of dissolution. The results obtained by spectophotometry showed lack of specificity of this method under our experimental conditions for quantification of methylxanthines. In the analysis of tannins, the procedure is not feasible for an routine laboratory to be long and larorious. The method by High Performance Liquid Chromatography allowed the quantification of the five markers simultaneously, with precision, accuracy, selectivity and robustness. The dissolution test using apparatus as man, 37 ºC ± 0,5 ºC, speed of 75 rpm in 900 mL of 0.1 M HCl medium pH 1,2 provided the best results was validated and used in assessing the behaviour of dissolution of the capsules and tablets based on guarana. It was found that all markers were quantified by the method are dissolved between 75% and 80% in time of 10 minutes. An analysis of the capsules did not break in any of the conditions employed. For the tablet was also observed in non-compliance, non-identification of catechin and epicatechin in the finished product, worrying factor, as the phenolic compounds are markers that should be present in the guarana powder. Considering the increasing use of plants is a clear need for definition of quality standards to ensure its therapeutic action and accordingly the study of dissolution is an essential tool in ensuring the quality of plants
