How should a 25mg/5ml trazodone oral suspension be prepared given the lack of literature, and specifically, should it be formulated as an acidic suspension using a citrate buffer as seen in a Michigan pharmacopeia formula with cherry syrup, or is using simple syrup acceptable as advised by APB documentation?
How can we resolve issues with preparing 28 ovules containing 500 mg of boric acid using a gelatin base, given that both hydrous and anhydrous glycerogelatin result in soft ovules that stick to each other, fingers, and the mold (even when lubricated with glycerol), making them difficult to insert, and would using liquid paraffin as a lubricant be a better alternative?
