Identification— Use a volume of Oral Solution equivalent to about 50 mg of doxylamine succinate, and proceed as directed under Identification—Organic Nitrogenous Bases 181, beginning with “Transfer the liquid to a separator.” The Oral Solution meets the requirements of the test.
Assay— Proceed with Oral Solution as directed under Salts of Organic Nitrogenous Bases 501, determining the absorbance at the wavelength of maximum absorbance at about 262 nm. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of doxylamine succinate (C17H22N2O·C4H6O4) in each mL of the Oral Solution taken by the formula:
(0.05C / V)(AU / AS)
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Doxylamine Succinate RS in the Standard Preparation; and V is the volume, in mL, of Oral Solution taken.
Auxiliary Information— Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
