Brompheniramine Maleate Injection
»Brompheniramine Maleate Injection is a sterile solution of Brompheniramine Maleate in Water for Injection.It contains not less than 90.0percent and not more than 110.0percent of the labeled amount of C16H19BrN2·C4H4O4.
Packaging and storage— Preserve in single-dose or in multiple-dose containers,preferably of Type Iglass,protected from light.
Identification— Dilute a volume of Injection,equivalent to about 50mg of brompheniramine maleate,with dilute hydrochloric acid (1in 1200)to 25mL,and proceed as directed under Identification—Organic Nitrogenous Bases á181ñ,beginning with “Transfer the liquid to a separator:”the Injection meets the requirements of the test.
Bacterial endotoxins á85ñ— It contains not more than 35.7USP Endotoxin Units per mg of brompheniramine maleate.
pHá791ñ: between 6.3and 7.3.
Other requirements— It meets the requirements under Injections á1ñ.
Assay— Proceed with Injection as directed under Salts of Organic Nitrogenous Bases á501ñ,to prepare the solution employed for the determination of the absorbance,AU,at 262nm.For the determination of AS,dissolve about 25mg of USP Brompheniramine Maleate RS,accurately weighed,in 20mLof dilute sulfuric acid (1in 350),and treat this solution the same as the portion of Injection being assayed.Calculate the quantity,in mg,of C16H19BrN2·C4H4O4in each mLof the Injection taken by the formula:
