SG= 117 gms (weight of D5W 100mL solubon = gms(weight of 100 mls of water) If weight of 100 ml of an alcohol solu8on is 85 grams, what is its specific gravity? SG= 85 grams = gm If a liquid has a specific gravity of 0.85, how much does 125 mls weigh? 0.85 = X/125ml 125(0.85) = X X = grams When specific gravity is known, you can determine the weight of a volume of liquid. This will be helpful in compounding. 16

22 Some compounding companies have general formulabons for troches, suppositories, lollipops and rapid dissolve tablets that explain how to calculate displacement for any acbve pharmaceubcal ingredients that need to be added. Some of these formulabons have already displaced the other inacbve ingredient (sweeteners, flavors, suspending agents) that may be listed in the formula, so please read the formulas carefully. All bases labeled faey acids from various vendors may not contain the same ingredients therefore all will not calibrate molds equally. Proprietary bases containing different mixes of ingredients will also needed to be calibrated to the appropriate mold. CalibraBon of the mold with bases is required before performing calculabons. 22

23 HOW TO SOLVE What informa8on is needed in order to calculate the formula? 1) The amount of fa=y acid base that the mold holds for 1 suppository stated above in the example: 1.28 gm 2) Total powders added for 1 suppository Calculate: Add up all powders necessary for 1 suppository: Aspirin 75 mg Silica gel 15 mg Total powder burden = 90 mg 3) The displacement factor for the base from the chart on previous page - locate fa=y acid base - the API is a powder - therefore use 70 % is the correct choice Solve: 1. calculate displacement: (Total powders) X (displacement factor) = X, 90 mg x 70 % = 63 mg. - What does this mean? Adding 90 mg of powder will displace 63 mg of the fa=y acid base. 23

24 2. Subtract the amount of displacement from the amount of base used for 1 suppository: 1.28 gm gm = gm. - What does this number mean? It s the amount of base required for the formula for 1 suppository. 3. So formula would be, for ONE suppository: Aspirin USP 75 mg Silica gel micronized 15 mg Fa=y acid base 1.22 grams 24

25 Rectal rocket mold holds 6.59 grams total of faey acid base and Paraffin, 50/50 rabo. This mold requires 35 mg of silica gel Calculate for 2 suppositories.. Since percent s are stated for the acbves, the calculabon is: mul8ply the percent required of each drug by the total weight of the bases the mold holds. THERAPEUTICS COMMENT: since percent is prescribed, and it is based on the capacity of the mold, always make sure the final dose is appropriate. How much base is needed for 2 suppositories? Calculate total powders first. Lidocaine USP 6.59 gm X 2 % = gm X 2 suppository = gm. HydrocorBsone USP 6.59 gm X 1 % = gm X 2 suppository = gm Silica gel, gm X 2 suppository = 0.07 gm Total powders = gm How much base is needed? Base: 6.59 gm/suppository X 2 suppositories = gm 25

26 This is split equally between the two bases, paraffin wax and fa=y acid base. Therefore the amount of each base is listed below prior to displacement: 13.18gm of total base/2 (the 2 represents the 2 different bases) Paraffin wax 6.59 gm Faey acid base 6.59 gm Please calculate the displacement of the powders using the chart on page 13 for displacement factor. Then calculate the amount of each base needed for the formula, and fill in the amounts needed below to complete the formula. Displacement Factor: 70% gm x 0.7 = gm = 12.85gm of base total (rounded) 12.85gm/2 suppository bases = 6.43gm Lidocaine USP 0.26 gm Hydrocor8sone USP 0.13 gm Silica gel micronized 0.07 gm Paraffin wax 6.43gm Fa=y Acid Base 6.43gm 26

27 18. PrescripBon for progesterone 100 mg suppository. PracBBoner specified using polyethylene glycol 1450 as the base. Dispense # 50. The formulabon worksheet includes the use of silica gel at 15 mg per suppository. AGer displacement, the amount of Polyethylene glycol used per suppository is 2.16 gm. Answer the quesbons below: Based on USP guidelines, how many will the formula be wrieen for to insure that the necessary quanbty of 50 can be dispensed? a. 50 suppositories b. 52 suppositories c. 55 suppositories d. 60 suppositories 19. The displacement factor used for Polyethylene glycol 1450 in this formula is: a.70 % b.100 % c.80 % d.90 % 20. For quality control purposes, 5 suppositories are selected to be weighed, and are removed from the mold. The mold that was used did not need lubricabon, so there is no other addibonal weight considered. What should each suppository weigh? a.2 gm b gm c gm d.1.91 gm 27

31 How to solve Equa8on: Strength of commercial product in milligrams = desired dose in milligrams Weight of commercial product in milligrams X in milligrams Cross mulbply, then divide to solve for the value of X, and when solved, X in milligrams represents the amount of commercial produc t( A + E) will contain the desired dose of acbve drug. 31

32 32

33 How to solve: Determine how much tablet by weight will equal the required dose. Use above equa8on, plug in known facts: 20 mg tablet strength = 15 mg required dose 100 mg tab weight X mg of tablet to give required dose (20 mg)(x mg) = (15 mg)(100mg) 20X mg = 1500 mg Divide both sides by 20, in order to solve for X X = 1500 mg = 75 mg 20 mg What does this mean? it takes 75 mg of ONE crushed tablet to give the required dose of 15 mg of Enalapril What volume does this occupy in a size one capsule? Pack stat has been done: 190 mg. Dose/pack stat X 100 % = % volume, However the dose is NOT 15 mg, but is the weight of the tablet that equal 15 mg, in this case, 75 mg. 75 mg = X 100 % = % This means that the dose occupies 190 mg % of empty capsule. 33

34 How much filler is needed? 100 % full % = % therefore % filler is needed. Lactose with 420 mg as pack stat, is mul8plied by %. Change to decimal by moving decimal 2 places to lek: mg X = 254 mg of lactose per capsule is needed. For 100 capsules: 15 mg/capsule, 1500 mg is needed. (15mg x 100 capsules) Tablets are 20 mg each, so 1500 mg/20mg per tablet = 75 tablets are needed. Lactose: 254 mg per capsule X 100 capsules = 25.4 gm of lactose. This is a theore8cal formula that would be used based on the theore8cal numbers. 34

35 Remember: 625 mg = 100 mg(api) mg(e) 21. Vigaro 37.5 mg been prescribed for energy. Its only available as a 100 mg tablet, and one tablet weighs 625 mg. How many milligrams of the crush tablet of Vigaro will contain the specified dose? Use the equabon on the previous slide to solve. a) 234mg b) 2.34gm c) 100mg d) None of the above 35

36 22. Aker compounding the prescrip8on, what will be the beyond use date be if the Vigaro tablets have a shelf life of 90 days lek? a. 14 days from date of compounding b. 30 days from the date pa8ent picked up c. 60 days from date of dispensing d. 90 days from the date of compounding e. 180 days from the date of compounding 23. What would be the beyond use date for the compound if the commercial tablets had an expira8on date 2 years out? a. 14 days from the date of compounding b. 30 days from the date of compounding c. 90 days from the date of compounding d. 180 days from the date of compounding e. 2 years from the date of compounding 36
