Stability of Captopril in an Extemporaneously Compounded Humco’s Oral Products
نویسنده
چکیده
Captopril oral suspensions were prepared by compounding Captopril powder with Humco’s Oral Products’ (Flavor Sweet : Flavor Plus 1:1; and Flavor Sweet-Sugar Free : Flavor Plus 1:1), at two concentrations: 0.8 mg/mL and 4 mg/mL. These bracket concentrations of all Captopril formulations were stored in low-actinic plastic prescription bottles at controlled room temperature (25 °C and 60% RH) and controlled cold temperature (2 – 8 °C). These formulations were evaluated over 36 days for their physical, chemical, and microbiological stability. The chemical specification was set as 90% to 110% of initial concentration of the active. Based on the stability data gathered over 5 testing time points (day 0, 8, 13, 23, and 36) for Captopril oral suspension, both 0.8 mg/mL and 4 mg/mL strengths formulations stored at controlled cold temperature were physically, chemically, and microbiologically stable for at least 23 days. Furthermore, both strengths of the Captopril oral suspensions stored at controlled room temperature were chemically stable until the 8 day time point.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of diazoxide in extemporaneously compounded oral suspensions. Oral suspensions of diazoxide 10 mg/mL were prepared from either bulk drug or capsules dispersed in either Oral Mix or Oral Mix Sugar Free. These suspensions were stored at 5°C and 25°C/60%RH in bottles and oral syringes for a total of 90 days. At predetermined time intervals,...
متن کاملStability of an alternative extemporaneous captopril fast-dispersing tablet formulation versus an extemporaneous oral liquid formulation.
BACKGROUND Administration of medications to pediatric patients is challenging because many drugs are not commercially available in appropriate dosage formulations and/or strengths. Consequently, these drugs are prepared extemporaneously as oral liquid (OL) formulations using marketed tablets or capsules. In many cases, the stability of these extemporaneous preparations, which may affect their t...

The pharmacist, both in community and hospital pharmacy practice, is often challenged with the preparation of a liquid dosage form not available commercially for paediatric patients, those adults unable to swallow tablets or capsules and patients who must receive medications via nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes. Recognising the lack of information available to healthcare professionals, a genera...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Most Frequently Prescribed Extemporaneously Compounded Veterinary Medications at a Large Independent Community Pharmacy.
Extemporaneous drug formulation is essential to provide optimal pharmaceutical care to veterinary patients. The need for this is exacerbated by the fact that commercially produced veterinary-specific products, without a human indication, require specialty veterinary manufacturing facilities and a new animal drug application process to gain marketing approval. This study examined the prescriptio...
