Ergotamine in capsules, keep cool?

Should be a preparation with per Gelule: Boldo extract 20mg, Belladonna extr 5 mg, ergotamine tartrate 0.3 mg and Coffein 30 mg stored in the refrigerator or not. We use a dry stopper vial.

Answer

You will need to prepare a trituration for Ergotaminetartraat as described in the TMF; for lack of iron oxide you can use riboflavin. It must be kept in the refrigerator. The capsules at room temperature. The presence of various dry extracts oblige you to use a hermetically sealed container (glass) and to close a dry stopper. A storage in a cool place is recommendable.
