Methenamine Mandelate Oral Suspension
» Methenamine Mandelate Oral Suspension is Methenamine Mandelate suspended in vegetable oil. It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of methenamine mandelate (C6H12N4·C8H8O3).
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight containers.
Identification
Triturate a quantity, equivalent to about 100 mg of methenamine mandelate, with 10 mL of chloroform, and pass through a 0.45-µm membrane filter. Evaporate the solvent, wash the residue with 5 small portions of ether, and allow it to air-dry: the IR absorption spectrum of a potassium bromide dispersion of the residue so obtained exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of a potassium bromide dispersion of USP Methenamine Mandelate RS.
