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.
