Packaging and storage
Preserve in well-closed containers.
Labeling
Label it to indicate that it is intended for veterinary use only.
Water, Method I 921:
not more than 1.0%, 20 mL of a mixture of toluene and methanol (7:3) being used in place of methanol in the titration vessel.
Assay for penicillin G
Proceed as directed for penicillin G under
AntibioticsMicrobial Assays 81, using an accurately measured volume of Topical Suspension blended for 2 minutes in a high-speed glass blender jar with 499.0 mL of
Buffer No. 1 and 1.0 mL of polysorbate 80. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, and dilute an accurately measured volume of the aqueous phase quantitatively and stepwise with
Buffer No. 1 to obtain a
Test Dilution having a concentration of penicillin G assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
Assay for neomycin
Proceed as directed for neomycin under
AntibioticsMicrobial Assays 81, using an accurately measured volume of Topical Suspension shaken in a separator with about 50 mL of ether, and extracted with four 20-mL portions of
Buffer No. 3. Combine the aqueous extracts, and dilute with
Buffer No. 3 to an appropriate volume to obtain a stock solution. To an accurately measured volume of this stock solution add an accurately measured volume of penicillinase sufficient to inactivate the penicillin G therein, heat at 37
for 30 minutes, and dilute quantitatively and stepwise with
Buffer No. 3 to obtain a
Test Dilution having a concentration of neomycin assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
Assay for polymyxin B
Proceed as directed for polymyxin B under
AntibioticsMicrobial Assays 81, using an accurately measured volume of Topical Suspension blended for 2 minutes in a high-speed glass blender jar containing 499.0 mL of
Buffer No. 6 and 1.0 mL of polysorbate 80. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, and to an accurately measured volume of the aqueous phase add an accurately measured volume of penicillinase sufficient to inactivate the penicillin G therein. Heat the solution at 37
for 30 minutes, and dilute quantitatively and stepwise with
Buffer No. 6 to obtain a
Test Dilution having a concentration of polymyxin assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard. Add to each test dilution of the Standard a quantity of
USP Neomycin Sulfate RS dissolved in
Buffer No. 6 to obtain the same concentration of neomycin present in the
Test Dilution.
