In the preparation of a suspension syrup, we used half of the Aqua Conservans and the heft sorbitol solution 70%. What is the shelf life of this syrup now?

Answer

When we talk about shelf life, we distinguish:

  1. The chemical shelf-life-when suspensions are reduced unless changes in the extensibility and particle size
  2. the microbiological shelf-life
  3. in The undamaged packaging: depending on the hygiene, the preparation and efficacy of the preservative.
  4. after opening by the patient: depending on the hygiene to the day laid by the user
Conclusion : The shelf life of your suspension syrup is difficult to predict without any research. So we propose to run no risk 6 months in the unopened bottle (in the pharmacy) with regular control of the agitation and 2 month at the CLI ë nt.
Of course, you can derive from this consideration what measures in relation to Hygi ë ne at The preparation should be taken.
