Methylprednisolone deliver in a syrup?

Patient is lactose intolerant and therefore can not take Medrol Capsules Magijet Preparation is a solution but is time consuming because of the dismantling schedule, all dosages must be prepared separately

Answer

You will need to prepare a suspension. As a solvent you can use:

Microcrystalline Cellulose (Avicel RC   581 or 591) dispersion TMF   25 g; Mucus solution NaCMC FN 6 10 g, glycerin 5 g; sugar syrup (or sorbitols syrup non-crystallizable) 30 g; Mint Spiritus 1 g; (or other aroma?)   Water for storage up to 100 ml  

Should the Methylpredsnisolon not mix well and tend to float up, add a few drops of Tween 80. As little as possible > taste problem.
