ALBENDAZOLE ORAL

Description

Method of Preparation: Calculate the quantity of each ingredient for the amount to be prepared. Accurately weigh/measure each ingredient. Heat »20 mL purified water to 90°C and add the sodium benzoate; allow to cool to 40°C. In a separate container, add the citric acid to a small portion of the purified water. Combine the two solutions. Separately, disperse the xanthan gum in ~40 mL purified water at 65°C, allow to hydrate, then cool to room temperature. Combine the solutions. Add the potassium sorbate and sucrose; mix well. Separately, mix the albendazole with the polysorbate 80 and sorbitol; add to the solution. Add the simethicone, flavor (a mixture of orange and vanilla has been used), and sufficient purified water to volume; mix well. Package and label.

Use: Albendazole oral liquid is used as an anthelmintic in patients who cannot swallow the commercially available tablets.
