Aluminum hydroxide dosage

Diphtheria toxoid adsorbed on to aluminum hydroxide is available in strength of 30 Lf units per mL. Its usual dose is 2 injections of 0.5 mL 6 to 8 weeks apart, and a third reinforcing dose approximately one year later. From the available dosage form containing 5 milliliters how many complete courses can be provided ... 

Mannitol has also been used to prevent thickening in aqueous antacid suspensions of aluminum hydroxide (<7% w/v). It has been suggested as a plasticizer in soft-gelatin capsules, as a component of sustained-release tablet formula-tions, and as a carrier in dry powder inhalers. It is also used as a diluent in rapidly dispersing oral dosage forms. 

Removal of F from drinking water by a membrane coagulation reactor was assessed by Zhang et al (2005), using aluminum sulfate as the major floe forming chemical. The optimum pH value for removal of F was found to be in the range from 6.0 to 6.7. In laboratory-scale tests, when proper dosages of aluminum sulfate and sodium hydroxide were added to the reactor, the concentration of F was reduced from 4.0 mg L in raw water to less than 1.0 mg L in the product water, which is within hoth the WHO and USEPA standards. These were comparable results to those observed hy Kowalchuck (2011).
