Question
Posted on: April 23 2014How can we make beclomethasone dipropionate oral solution?
At the doctor's request: 1g Beclomethasone dipropionate per litre (oily solution)
Answer
I hereby send a composition based on corn oil. Apparently corn oil has a bit of a special taste and maybe it would be better to use sunflower oil, which is more neutral in taste. Hopefully the solubility remains the same.
As a taste correction, you could use anise oil or cinnamon oil. Liquid chocolate can also be processed under oil.
