Assay— Dissolve about 400 mg of Carbinoxamine Maleate, previously dried and accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid, add 1 drop of crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS to a blue-green endpoint. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 20.34 mg of C16H19ClN2O·C4H4O4.
