Scopolamine Hydrobromide Ophthalmic Solution
» Scopolamine Hydrobromide Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile, buffered, aqueous solution of Scopolamine Hydrobromide. It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of C17H21NO4·HBr·3H2O. It may contain suitable antimicrobial agents and stabilizers, and may contain suitable additives for the purpose of increasing its viscosity.
Packaging and storage—
Preserve in tight containers.
Identification—
A:
A volume of Ophthalmic Solution, equivalent to about 3 mg of scopolamine hydrobromide, responds to Identification test A under Scopolamine Hydrobromide Injection.
B:
Add to the Ophthalmic Solution silver nitrate TS: a yellowish white precipitate, insoluble in nitric acid but slightly soluble in 6 N ammonium hydroxide, is formed.
