Chloral Hydrate 40mg suppositories for baby of 6month?

Which suppository mass could be used there. Often, PEG masses are used, but which Pegs are still available? Can we use plastic suppostrips or is a metal form preferable? All these problems find their origins because small rektioles are no longer available I!!

Answer

1% chloralhydrate causes a melting point reduction of 0.1 °   C. This is a low value. Assuming that we prepare suppositories of 1 G then we have 4%   chlorine hydrate and consequently a melting point reduction of 0.4 ° C. This is not much. Consequently, the classic universal suppository mass can probably be used. If (??) the suppositories are not sturdy enough, there may be 40 mg per suppository.

The preparation method does not require any special working methods because chloral hydrate dissolves in the suppository mass.  

Chloral hydrate may impair metal; one avoids metal tools and a metaklen suppository form

If the suppositories are kept loose in a pot, they become wet. As packaging: Use plastic strips, which in turn are stored in a well-balanced glass   jar.
