`
`compounds has an optimal activity over the pH rangeof 4 to
`10 and is quite stable at room temperature. Because of the
`cationic nature ofthis type of preservative, it is incompatible
`with many anionic compounds such as surfactants and can
`bind to nonionic surfactants. It is used generally in prepara-
`tions for external use or those solutions that come in contact
`with mucous membranes. In ophthalmic preparations, benza-
`Ikonium chloride is widely used at a concentration of
`0.01-0.02% w/w. Often it is used in combination with other
`preservatives or excipients, particularly 0.1% w/v disodium
`edetate, to enhance its antimicrobial activity against strains
`of Pseudomonas. A concentration of 0.002—-0.02% is used in
`nasal and otic formulations, sometimes in combination with
`0.002-0.005% thimerosal. Benzalkonium chloride 0.01% w/v
`is also employed as a preservative in small-volume parenteral
`products.
`Clearly, when the pharmacist dispenses or compounds liq-
`uid preparations, responsibility is assumed, along with the
`manufacturer, for the maintenance of product stability. Gen-
`eral chapter (1191) of the USP describes stability considera-
`tions for dispensing, which should be studied in detail. Stock
`should be rotated and replaced if expiration dates on the label
`so indicate. Products should be stored in the manner indicated
`on the manufacturer's label or in the compendium. Further,
`products should be checked for evidence of instability. With re-
`spect to solutions, elixirs, and syrups, major signs of instability
`are color change, precipitation, and evidence of microbial or
`chemical gas formation. Emulsions may cream, but if they
`break (ie, there is a separation of an oil phase) the productis
`considered unstable. Sedimentation and caking are primary in-
`dications of instability in suspensions. The presence oflarge
`particles may mean that excessive crystal growth has occurred
`(Ostwald Ripening). Additional details on these topics are pro-
`vided in the pertinent sections of this chapter.

`and Irrigation Solutions.
`
`Aromatic Waters
`
`The USPdefines Aromatic Waters as clear, saturated aqueous
`solutions (unless otherwise specified) of volatile oils or other
`aromatic or volatile substances.® Their odors and tastes are
`similar, respectively, to those of the drugs or volatile sub-
`stances from which they are prepared, and they are free from
`empyreumatic and other foreign odors. Aromatic waters may be
`prepared by distillation or solution of the aromatic substance,
`with or without the use of a dispersing agent. They are used

`
`PART 5: PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING
`
`Peppermint Water USP and Stronger Rose Water USP are
`examples of aromatic waters. Concentrated waters, such as
`peppermint, dill, cinnamon, and caraway, may be prepared as
`follows:
`
`Dissolve 20 mL of the volatile oil in 600 mL of 90%ethanol.
`Add sufficient purified water in successive small portions to
`produce 1000 mL. Shake vigorously after each addition. Add
`50 g of sterilized purified tale, shake occasionally for several
`hours, and filter.
`
`The aromatic water is prepared by diluting the concentrate
`with 39 times its volumeof water.
`The chemical composition of many of the volatile oils is
`known, and suitable synthetic substances may be used in
`preparing pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Similarly, many
`synthetic aromatic substances have a characteristic odor; for
`example, geranyl phenyl acetate has a honey odor, Such sub-
`stances, either alone or in combination, can be used in nonoffi-
`cial preparations.
`The principal difficulty experienced in compounding pre-
`scriptions containing aromatic waters is salting out certain in-
`gredients such as very soluble salts. A replacementof part of
`the aromatic water with purified water is permissible when no
`other function is being served than that of a vehicle. Aromatic
`waters will deteriorate with time and should, therefore, be
`made in small quantities, protected from intense light and ex-
`cessive heat, and stored in airtight, light-resistant containers.
`
`Aqueous Acids
`Inorganic acids and certain organic acids, although of minor
`significance as therapeutic agents, are of great importance in
`pharmaceutical manufacturing and analysis. Thisis especially
`true of acetic, hydrochloric, and nitric acids. Many of the more
`important inorganic acids are available commercially in the
`form of concentrated aqueous solutions. The percentage
`strength varies from one acid to another and depends on the
`solubility and stability of the solute in water and on the manu-
`facturing process, Thus, Hydrochloric Acid contains from 36.5%
`to 38.0% by weight of HCl], whereas Nitric Acid contains from
`69% to 71% by weight of HNOg.
`Because the strengths of these concentrated acids are stated
`in terms of percent by weight, it is essential that specific grav-
`ities also be provided if one is to be able to calculate conve-
`niently the amount of absolute acid contained in a unit volume
`of the solution as purchased. The mathematical relationship in-
`volved is given by the equation M = V x S x F, where Mis the
`mass in g of absolute acid contained in V mLof solution having
`a specific gravity S and a fractional percentage strength F.
`As an example, Hydrochloric Acid containing 36.93% by
`weight of HCl has a specific gravity of 1.1875. Therefore, the
`amount of pure HC! supplied by 100 mL ofthis solution is
`given by:
`
`M = 100 = 1.1875 x 0.3693 = 43.85 g HC]
`
`Although manyofthe reactions characteristicof acids offer op-
`portunities for incompatibilities, only a few are of sufficient im-
`portance to require more than casual mention. Acids and acid
`salts decompose carbonates with liberation of carbon dioxide; in
`a closed container, sufficient pressure may be developedto pro-
`duce an explosion. Inorganic acids react with salts of organic
`acids to produce the free organic acid and a salt of the inorganic
`acid. If insoluble, the organic acid will be precipitated, Thus,
`salicylic acid and benzoic acid are precipitated from solutions of
`salicylates and benzoates. Boric acid likewise is precipitated
`from concentrated solutions of borates. By a similar reaction,
`certain soluble organic compoundsare converted into an insol-
`uble form, Phenobarbital sodium, for example, is converted into
`phenobarbital that will precipitate in aqueous solution.
`The ability of acids to combine with alkaloids and other or-
`ganic compounds containing a basic nitrogen atom is used in
`
`Diluted Acids
`
`
`preparing soluble salts of these substances. Certain
`syrups, elixirs, and other pharmaceutical prepara Shih
`
`contain free acid, which causes these preparations a
`the incompatibilities characteristic of the acid, Acids al
`sess the incompatibilities of the anions that they conta
`
`in the case of organic acids, these are frequently of p i
`portance. These are discussed underthe specific anion. =
`
`The diluted acids in the USP are aqueoussolutionsof a4
`suitable strength (usually 10% w/v but Diluted Acetie 4
`
`6% w/v) for internal administration or for the manufaoy
`other preparations.
`Thestrengthsoftheofficial undiluted acidsare expregy
`
`percentages in weight (w/w), whereas the strengths of},
`cial diluted acids are expressed as percent in volume (yj
`
`therefore, becomes necessary to consider the specific gps
`
`ofthe concentrated acids when calculating the volumereqy
`to make a given quantity of diluted acid. The followingegy
`will give the numberof milliliters required to make 100(yy)

`woundsorirritations of the mouth or gums. A small amount of
`the gel is applied to the affected area, allowed to remain in
`place for at least 1 minute, and then expectorated: the gel may
`be used up to 4 times daily (after meals and at bedtime).
`
`Mouthwashes
`
`Mouthwashes are aqueous solutions often in concentrated form
`containing one or more active ingredients and excipients de-
`scribed below. They are used by swishing the liquid in the oral
`cavity. Mouthwashes can be used for two purposes, therapeutic
`and cosmetic. Therapeutic rinses or washes can be formulated
`to reduce plaque, gingivitis, dental caries, and stomatitis, Cos-
`metic mouthwashes may be formulated to reduce bad breath
`through the use of antimicrobial and/orflavoring agents.
`Recent information indicates that mouthwashes are being
`used as a dosage form for a number of specific problems in
`the oral cavity; for example, mouthwashes containing a combi-
`nation of antihistamines, hydrocortisone, nystatin, and tetra-
`eycline have been prepared from commercially available
`suspensions, powders, syrups, or solutions for the treatment of
`stomatitis, a painful side effect of cancer chemotherapy. Other
`drugs include allopurinol, also used for the treatment of stom-
`atitis,”’ pilocarpine for xerostoma (dry mouth),"’ amphotericin
`B fororal candidiasis,®” and chlorhexidine gluconatefor plaque
`control.** Mouthwashes may be used for diagnostic purposes.
`For example, oral cancer and lesions are detected using tolui-
`dine blue mouth rinse.“*
`Commercial products (eg, Cepacol, Listerine, Micrin, or
`Scope) vary widely in composition. Tricca has described the ex-
`cipients generally found in Mouthwashes as alcohols, surfac-
`tants, flavors, and coloring agents.** Alcohol is often present in
`the range of 10% to 20%. It enhances the flavor, provides sharp-
`ness to the taste, aids in masking the unpleasanttaste ofactive
`ingredients, functions as a solubilizing agent for some flavoring
`agents, and may function as a preservative. Humectants such
`as glycerin and sorbitol may form 5% to 20% of the mouthwash.
`These agents increase the viscosity of the preparation and pro-
`vide a certain body or mouth feel to the product. They enhance
`the sweetness of the product and, along with the ethanol, im-
`prove the preservative qualities of the product.
`Surfactants of the nonionic class such as polyoxyethylene/
`polyoxypropylene block copolymers or polyoxyethylene deriva-
`tives of sorbitol fatty acid esters may be used. The concentra-
`tion range is 0.1% to 0.5%, An anionic surfactant occasionally
`used is sodium lauryl sulfate. Surfactants are used because
`they aid in the solubilizationof flavors and in the removal of de-
`bris by providing foaming action. Cationic surfactants such as
`cetylpyridinium chloride are used for their antimicrobial prop-
`erties, but these tend to imparta bitter taste.
`Flavors are used in conjunction with alcohol and humec-
`tants to overcome disagreeable tastes, at the same timeflavors
`must be safe to use. The principle flavoring agents are pepper-
`mint, spearmint, cinnamon, wintergreen oils, menthol, or
`methyl salicylate. Other flavoring agents may be used singly
`or in combination. Finally, coloring agents also are used in
`these products.
`
`Juices
`
`A juice is prepared from fresh ripe fruit, is aqueous in charac-
`ter, and is used in making syrups that are employed as vehicles.
`The freshly expressed juice is preserved with benzoic acid and
`allowed to stand at room temperaturefor several days, until the
`pectins that naturally are present are destroyed by enzymatic
`action, as indicated by thefiltered juice yielding a clear solution

`Cherry Juice and Tomato Juice are described in the USP.
`Artificial flavors now have replaced many of the natural fruit
`juices. Although they lack the flavor of the natural juice, they
`are more stable and easier to incorporate into the final phar-

`The main classes of drugs used for topical administratipn

`Nasal solutions are usually aqueous solutions designed to be
`administered to the nasal passages in drops or sprays. Other
`nasal preparations may be in the form of emulsions or suspen-
`sions. The adult nasal cavity has about a 20 mL capacity with
`a large surface area (about 180 cm*) for drug absorption af-
`forded by the microvilli present along the pseudo-stratified
`columnar epithelial cells of the nasal mucosa.** The nasaltis-
`sue is highly vascularized making it an attractivesite for rapid
`and efficient systemic absorption. Another advantage of nasal
`delivery is that it avoids first-pass metabolism by the liver. For
`some peptides and small molecular compounds, intranasal
`bioavailability has been comparable to that of injections. How-
`ever, bioavailability decreases as the molecular weight of a
`compound increases, and for proteins composed of more than 27
`amino acids bioavailability may be low.“° Various pharmaceu-
`tical techniques and functional excipients, such as surfactants,
`have been shown to be capable of enhancing the nasal absorp-
`tion of large molecules.*)”
`Many drugs are administered for their local sympath-
`omimetic effects to reduce nasal congestion, such as Ephedrine
`Sulfate Nasal Solution, USP or Naphazoline Hydrochloride
`Nasal Solution, USP. A few other preparations, Lypressin
`Nasal Solution USP and Oxytocin Nasal Solution USP, are
`administered in spray form for their systemic effect for the
`treatment of diabetes insipidus and milk letdown prior to
`breast feeding, respectively. Examples of commercial products
`for nasal usearelisted in Table 39-3.
`Nasal solutions are formulated to be similar to nasal secre-
`tions with regard to toxicity, pH, and viscosity so that normal
`ciliary action is maintained. Thus, aqueous nasal solutions usu-
`ally are isotonic and slightly buffered to maintain a pH of5.5 to
`6.5. In addition, antimicrobial preservatives, similar to those
`used in ophthalmic preparations, and appropriate drug stabi-
`lizers, if required, are included in the formulation.
`Current studies indicate that nasal sprays are deposited
`mainly in the atrium and cleared slowly into the pharynx with
`the patient in an upright position. Drops spread more extensively
