Assay
Assay preparation
Transfer an accurately measured volume of Oral Solution, equivalent to about 750 mg of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, to a 200-mL volumetric flask, dilute with methanol to volume, and mix. Transfer 1.0 mL of this solution to a 10-mL volumetric flask, dilute with methanol to volume, and mix.
Procedure
Proceed as directed for
Procedure in the
Assay under
Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride Tablets. Calculate the quantity, in mg per mL, of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (C
9H
13NO·HCl) in the portion of Oral Solution taken by the formula:
2(C/V)(rU / rS),
in which
C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of
USP Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride RS in the
Standard preparation; V is the volume, in mL, of Oral Solution taken; and
rU and
rS are the peak responses obtained from the
Assay preparation and the
Standard preparation, respectively.
