Sodium Chloride Equivalent Method

if NaCl is the tonicity agent

FORMULA

A

step 1: NaCldrug = Edrug x gdrug
or NaCldrug = Edrug x %drug/100 x mLsoln
step 2: NaCltotal = 0.009 x mLsoln
step 3: NaClneeded = NaCltotal - NaCldrug

24
Q

Methods of Adjusting Tonicity

If water and isotonic diluting agent are used, the volume in mL of isotonic solution that may be prepared by mixing drug with water, followed by isotonic diluting agent to the required volume

A

WHITE VINCENT METHOD

25
Q

WHITE VINCENT METHOD formula

A

V = w x E x 111.1
or
V = %drug / 100 x mLsoln x E x 111.1

26
Q

Diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane

A

osmosis

27
Q
  • Relative solute concentrations of two environments separated by a semi-permeable membrane
  • The concentration of only the solute that cannot cross a membrane
A

TONICITY

28
Q

Sodium Chloride Equivalent Method

If NaCl is not the tonicity agent

FORMULA

A

step 1: NaCldrug = Edrug x gdrug
or NaCldrug = Edrug x %drug/100 x mLsoln
step 2: NaCltotal = 0.009 x mLsoln
step 3: NaClneeded = NaCltotal - NaCldrug
step 4: gagent = NaCl needed / E agent
