Answer

You can find the method of preparation in our demand box, when asked "advice for the preparation of a sterile eye ointment". Given the hardness of the Crystals NaCl and KCl I mean, that these two products should be dissolved with 1.5 ml of water. You can best sterilize the eye ointment in the oven at 150 degrees and add the solution before the cooled ointment (8.5 g) has become fully fixed. The solution is made by filtration germ-free by a sterilized membrane filter 0.2; Take into account a certain loss in filtration (death volume of the filter holder). So make some more solution and then work gravimetric.

There are apparently left and right such ointments in the pharmacy???
