Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Oral Concentrate
» Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Oral Concentrate contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of C17H19ClN2S·HCl.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight, light-resistant containers.
Labeling
Label it to indicate that it must be diluted prior to administration.
USP Reference standards 11
USP Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride RS.
noteThroughout the following procedures, protect test or assay specimens, the Reference Standard, and solutions containing them, by conducting the procedures without delay, under subdued light, or using low-actinic glassware.
Identification
B:
Dilute a portion of the Oral Concentrate with an equal volume of water: the resulting solution responds to the tests for Chloride 191.
Microbial enumeration tests 61 and Tests for specified microorganisms 62
It meets the requirements of the tests for the absence of Escherichia coli.
pH 791:
between 2.3 and 4.1.
Limit of chlorpromazine sulfoxide
Proceed as directed in the test for Chlorpromazine sulfoxide under Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Syrup.
Assay
Transfer an accurately measured volume of Oral Concentrate, previously diluted if necessary, equivalent to about 10 mg of chlorpromazine hydrochloride, to a 50-mL volumetric flask, add 0.1 N hydrochloric acid to volume, and mix. Proceed as directed in the Assay under Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Injection, beginning with Pipet 10 mL of the solution. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C17H19ClN2S·HCl in each mL of the Oral Concentrate taken by the formula:
1.25C(A254 A277)U / V(A254 A277)S
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride RS in the Standard solution; V is the volume, in mL, of Oral Concentrate taken; and the parenthetic expressions are the differences in the absorbances of the two solutions at the wavelengths indicated by the subscripts, for the solution from the Oral Concentrate (U) and the Standard solution (S), respectively.
