METHOD FOR PREPARING METRONIDASOL SOLUTION FOR INJECTIONS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: pharmaceutics.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with mixing water for injections, conservation agent, metronidasol till complete dissolving at 50-60 C, adding a buffer (NaOH solution) pH 4.5-6.5 at pre-estimated quantity of water, then one should sterilize the obtained medicinal form due to membranous filtration followed by sterile packaging. As a conservation agent one should apply sodium chloride at the quantity of 1.5-2.0 against metronidasol weight, then metronidasol solution should be supplemented with a half-volume of sodium chloride solution, after complete dissolving the obtained solution should be supplemented with the rest quantity of sodium chloride solution. As for membranous filtration it should be carried out by applying a capsule out of polypropylene with hydrophilic membrane of 1.2 mcm. The method provides no crystallization of an active substance during prolonged period of time.

EFFECT: higher therapeutic efficiency.
