A 56-year-old diabetic patient, who presents to a compounding
pharmacy with a prescription for Drug X Oral Suspension, (Strength:
80 mg of Drug X per 5 mL of the oral suspension). When handing the
prescription to the pharmacist (you), the patient said that she is
allergic to Alcohol, but she would love to have an orange flavor in
the preparation.
Before you compound the preparation, you have realized that you
do not have the API of the Drug X in your pharmacy. But you have
the immediate-release capsule dosage forms of this Drug X in your
pharmacy. Strength: 100mg of Drug X/Capsule. You have decided to
use the capsule dosage form as a source for Drug X.
Drug X is not freely water-soluble, and the inactive ingredients
present in the capsule dosage forms are lactose, Sodium starch
glycolate, & Magnesium stearate. The total weight of the powder
in one capsule is 600 mg (*without the capsule shell).
How do you compound 30 mL of the Drug X Oral Suspension,
(Strength: 80 mg / 5 ml of the oral suspension)?
