Question
Posted on: March 6 2013Pediatrician asks preparation of syrup: Prednisone 1mg/ml. How can we prepare this?
Answer
Given that the preparation is intended for a child and alcohol and other semipolar solvents are not advisable I would opt for a suspension.
As excipient you can appeal to the sweet excipient without sugar of the USP, which is mentioned in the booklet Galenic formularium page 149.
