Acetylcysteine 5% Eye Drops

How do I best prepare these eyedrops? I don't find an E-value of acetylcysteine anywhere

Answer

You can find a possible solution at our Helpdesk. Enter acetylcysteine in the search box. You can also use a formula, which is found on the website of MFK

acetylcysteine     5 G

Benzalkonium chloride   10 mg

Dinatriumedetaat   100 mg

Trometamol   5.3 g

Purified water   AD 100 ml

According to the formulary, this solution can be sterilized according to the method of Deussen or the method with flowing water vapour. The pH   must   = +/-  8.
