Extemporaneous preparation of methyldopa in two syrup vehicles
Abstract:
The stability of methyldopa in two extemporaneous syrup preparations was studied. Film-coated methyldopa tablets were triturated and incorporated into (1) unpreserved Syrup USP and (2) an equal mixture of simple syrup containing 0.5% citric acid and 0.2 N hydrochloric acid, in concentrations of 50 mg/ml. The preparations were stored in the dark, for 14 days at 5 C and 25 C. Samples were analyzed spectrophotometrically for methyldopa content at various intervals. Both preparations were stable under the conditions studied.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
