Pharmacist Instructions for Preparation
1 Remove and Inspect the Contents of the Kit
Ensure that the safety seals are present and intact on the ranitidine hydrochloride and pineapple/orange oral suspension vehicle bottles. If the seals are not intact, do not use the kit.
2 Prepare for Compounding
Wear gloves and eye protection during combining operations. Remove the seal from the Pineapple/Orange oral suspension bottle. Break the perforated seal and remove the cap from the ranitidine hydrochloride bottle.
3 Transfer Ranitidine Hydrochloride to the Pineapple/Orange Suspension Bottle
Uncap the Pineapple/Orange suspension bottle. Pour a small amount of Pineapple/Orange suspension liquid (approximately one-third to one-half the volume of the ranitidine hydrochloride bottle) into the ranitidine hydrochloride bottle. Cap the ranitidine hydrochloride bottle and shake well several times to dissolve the ranitidine hydrochloride powder. Empty the contents into the Pineapple/Orange suspension bottle. Cap and mix the suspension bottle. Repeat this step a minimum of 3 times. Visually ensure that all of the renitidine hydrochloride has been dissolved and transferred to the suspension bottle.
4 Completing the Compounding Process
Insert the press-in bottle adaptor into the Pineapple/Orange suspension bottle that now contains the renitidine hydrochloride. Recap the Pineapple/Orange suspension bottle. Mix well by inverting repestedly several times. Visually ensure that all contents are dissolved.
5 Re-label the Resulting Final Suspension
Label the resulting final suspension as required for prescription products. Ensure that the original Pineapple/Orange oral suspension vehicle label is removed or obscured, since the original label is no longer accurate once the resulting final suspension is completed. The contents of the bottle need to be shaken well before taken as directed by the medical professional.
Store the unused kit at room temperature of 15-30°C (59-86°F). once prepared, store the mixed suspension between 2-8°C (36-46°F). The resulting final suspension is stable for up to eight weeks, based upon real-time and accelerated stability studies.
An oral dispenser is provided in the kit and may be used to facilitate delivery of the suspension.
