Answer

In the processing of a speciality in a magistal preparation, the active ingredient of the relevant speciality should not appear in lists 1 to 5. Here, in this case, the active constituent of Furadantine MC does not occur in lists 1 to 5. This has the consequence that the speciality must be used in order to justify the repayment (despite the fact that the active ingredient is available). However, the dose per capsule should be different from the specialty dose. The speciality is not regarded as a retardform.. After dilution of the contents of the capsules with lactose, the mixture can be filled in capsules, which can be opened before administration. It should be asked if there is lactose intolerance in the baby. Also Furadantine MC contains lactose!
