Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

I get the following prescription with Magijet mouthwash: molar sodium bicarbonate (= 8.4%) 60 ml lidocaine Chlorhydrate 120 mg Dexamethasone 8 mg sterile water AD 300 ml

< br/> What method of calculation should I use for the Nabicarbonaat and what is the function of this constituent here? Why should sterile water be used in the mouth?

Answer

I suspect that you have to deal with an exceptional Pati ë nt (palliative care??) so that any infection should be avoided. I think the doctor assumes that you are based on a sterile flapulle NaHCO3 and further wishes to be supplemented with sterile water. NaHCO3 obviously aims to set a neutral pH. Dexamethasone has a solubility of 10 mg/100 ml So here is no problem of solubility.
of course you have to pull the line here and pack the solution in a bottle sterilized at 120 ° C.
