USP Sulfadimethoxine RS.
Identification—
Shake a quantity equivalent to about 1 g with 5 mL of diluted hydrochloric acid and 10 mL of water. Filter, and to the filtrate add 2.5 N sodium hydroxide dropwise until a precipitate forms and redissolves. 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.

Assay—
Mobile phase, Standard preparation, and Chromatographic system—
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Sulfadimethoxine.
Assay preparation—
Transfer an accurately weighed portion of Powder, equivalent to about 50 mg of sulfadimethoxine, to a 250-mL volumetric flask, add about 200 mL of Mobile phase, and swirl to dissolve. Dilute with Mobile phase to volume, and mix. Protect this solution from light.
Procedure—
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Sulfadimethoxine. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of sulfadimethoxine (C12H14N4O4S) in the portion of Powder taken by the formula:
250C(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Sulfadimethoxine RS in the Standard preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
