Identification
Shake a quantity equivalent to about 50 mg with 50 mL of water, and add 2.5 N sodium hydroxide dropwise until the solution becomes clear. Add diluted hydrochloric acid dropwise until a precipitate forms. Collect the precipitate on a very fine filter, and wash it with water and with ether: the sulfadimethoxine so obtained meets the requirements for the Identification tests under Sulfadimethoxine.
pH 791:
between 5.0 and 7.0.
Assay
Mobile phase, Standard preparation, and Chromatographic system

Procedure
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Sulfadimethoxine. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of sulfadimethoxine (C12H14N4O4S) in each mL of the Oral Suspension taken by the formula:
250(C/V)(rU / rS)
in which V is the volume, in mL, of Oral Suspension taken to prepare the Assay preparation; and the other terms are as defined therein.
