You need to measure the string first to see if it will fit within the space allocated to it. You can then adjust its font or number of lines as necessary.

Use MeasureString

Graphics.MeasureString, méthode (System.Drawing)[^]

Ex:

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            int columnSize = 100;
            e.Graphics.DrawString("Particulars", new Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new Point(35, 300));
           Font font = fitText(e.Graphics, "Metaformin Hydrochloride Sustained", new Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Regular), columnSize);
            e.Graphics.DrawString("Metaformin Hydrochloride Sustained", font, Brushes.Black, new Point(35, 350));            
            e.Graphics.DrawString("HSNCode", new Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new Point(columnSize*2, 300));
            e.Graphics.DrawString("Unit", new Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new Point(columnSize*3, 300));
            e.Graphics.Dispose();
        }

        private Font fitText(Graphics e,string text,Font font,double maxWidth)
        {            
            while (e.MeasureString(text, font).Width > maxWidth)
               font = new Font(font.FontFamily, font.Size - 0.1F,font.Style);

            return font;
        }
