MVG, APR Luyten
Answer
On the shelf life I cannot say. But I suppose it's going to be a magistal preparation. Normally the shelf life is 2 months. If possible I choose the suppository mass with the lowest hydroxyl number but I do not know which of the Witeposls are still available.
Very important is the homogeneity. You will be left with a trituration but you still have to dilute with 750 mg lactose per suppository of 2 G.
NOTE
You could have at least specified the dosage, not???
