Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

What do you think is the best way to process Vit A in following preparation: NaCMC 1000CP 1g Vit A powder 500000ie/g 0.5 g sir. Simplex 30ml Tetracycline HCl 300mg Mint Water AD

100ml < br/>

Answer

  1. I do not think it is ideal to use Vit a powder; Why not the oil solution we can solubilize with the eightfold amount of Tween 80;

     

  2. TetracyclineHCl SHOULD be converted to tetracycline base otherwise the preparation will be dark black-brown at relatively short time. There is a formulation of a tetracycline suspension in the Galenic Formularium booklet.
