Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Ophthalmic Solution
» Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile, aqueous solution of Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate. It contains an amount of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (C22H28FNa2O8P) equivalent to not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 115.0 percent of the labeled amount of dexamethasone phosphate (C22H30FO8P).
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight, light-resistant containers.
Identification
The Assay preparation, prepared as directed in the Assay, responds to the Identification test under Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Cream.
pH 791:
between 6.6 and 7.8.
Sterility 71:
meets the requirements.
Assay
Mobile phase, Standard preparation, and Chromatographic system
Prepare as directed in the Assay under Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection.
Assay preparation
Transfer an accurately measured volume of Ophthalmic Solution, equivalent to about 8 mg of dexamethasone phosphate, to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with Mobile phase to volume, and mix.
Procedure
Proceed as directed for Procedure in the Assay under Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C22H30FO8P in each mL of the Ophthalmic Solution taken by the formula:
0.1(C / V)(rU / rS)
in which V is the volume, in mL, of Ophthalmic Solution taken.
