In methadone syrup, citric acid is added. Why?

R/methadone. HCl 100 mg, anhydrous citric acid 100 mg; Babanenaroma 100 mg; Glycerol 10 g; Sugar syrup 40 g; Water for storage ad 112 g or 100 ML Is a methadone solution in Aqua Conservans equally stable?

Answer

Citric acid is added to keep the methadone well in the dissolving, to keep the solution sour   and for the taste.    

Water for preservation = Aqua Conservans
