Assay for neomycin—
Proceed as directed for neomycin under Antibiotics—Microbial Assays 81, using an accurately weighed portion of Lotion, equivalent to about 3.5 mg of neomycin, blended for 3 to 5 minutes in a high-speed glass blender jar containing an accurately measured volume of Buffer No. 3 sufficient to obtain a stock solution having a convenient concentration of neomycin. Dilute an accurately measured volume of this stock solution quantitatively with Buffer No. 3 to obtain a Test Dilution having a concentration of neomycin assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.

Assay for flurandrenolide—
Proceed with Neomycin Sulfate and Flurandrenolide Lotion as directed in the Assay under Flurandrenolide Cream. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C24H33FO6 in the portion of Lotion taken by the formula:
10C(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Flurandrenolide RS in the Standard preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
