Question
Posted on: March 12 2018How do I make the prescribed ear drop, which contains Maxidex eye drops 5 ml and salicylic acid 1%?
If Maxidex is used, then there is no intervention of the RIZIV; What can I use as a solvent to dissolve?
Answer
Maxidex Eye Drops contains: 1 mg/ml dexamethasone and as excipients. Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1 mg – Methyl hydroxypropylcellulose – anhydride disodium hydrogen phosphate – polysorbate 80 – Disodium residue Detaat – Potassium chloride – Monohydride citric acid and/or sodium hydroxide – purified water up to 1 ml.
salicylic acid is incompatible with Polysorbate 80.
I suggest you use propylene glycol as a solvent. Chances are that both of these components resolve
