Hoyt and Sepaniak have used capillary zone electrophoresis to determine procaine in pharmaceuticals as a cation of benzylpenicillin [148]. A benzylpenicillin potassium tablet (250 mg) was treated with 20 mL of a 0.2% phenol solution (the internal standard), and dispersed in water. The solution was diluted to 500 mL, and samples were introduced into the fused silica capillary tube (70 cm x 50 gm) by siphoning. With 10 mM Na2HP04-6mM Na2B407 buffer as the mobile phase, the samples were subjected to electrophoresis at 30 kV (25 to 30 pA), and the emerging analytes detected at 228 nm within 10 minutes. 

Warn patients to avoid salt substitutes that contain potassium. OTC preparations of minerals and vitamins are unlikely to contain a potentially harmful content of potassium. However, a quarter of a teaspoon of salt substitute with potassium may contain 650 mg of potassium, compared with a prescription potassium tablet of 20 mEq, which contains 750 mg ... 

Excess intake of potassium, reduced renal excretion of potassium, or both can lead to hyperkalemia, which can lead to serious arrhythmia and death. The toxicity of excess potassium can be exacerbated by aldosterone antagonist drugs. Slow-release potassium tablets in overdose are a frequent cause.

SNG Substitute natural gas. soaps Sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids, particularly stearic, palmitic and oleic acids. Animal and vegetable oils and fats, from which soaps are prepared, consist essentially of the glyceryl esters of these acids. In soap manufacture the oil or fat is heated with dilute NaOH (less frequently KOH) solution in large vats. When hydrolysis is complete the soap is salted out , or precipitated from solution by addition of NaCl. The soap is then treated, as required, with perfumes, etc. and made into tablets. 

Two or more soHd catalyst components can be mixed to produce a composite that functions as a supported catalyst. The ingredients may be mixed as wet or dry powders and pressed into tablets, roUed into spheres, or pelletized, and then activated. The promoted potassium ferrite catalysts used to dehydrogenate ethylbenzene in the manufacture of styrene or to dehydrogenate butanes in the manufacture of butenes are examples of catalysts manufactured by pelletization and calcination of physically mixed soHd components. In this case a potassium salt, iron oxide, and other ingredients are mixed, extmded, and calcined to produce the iron oxide-supported potassium ferrite catalyst. 

When electrolytes are administered parenterally, the dosage is expressed in milliequivalents (mEq), for example, calcium gluconate 7 mEq IV When administered orally, sodium bicarbonate, calcium, and magnesium dosages are expressed in milligrams (mg). Potassium liquids and effervescent tablet dosses are expressed in milliequivalents capsule or tablet dosses may be expressed as milliequivalents or milligrams.

L.18 A tablet of vitamin C was analyzed to determine whether it did in fact contain, as the manufacturer claimed, 1.0 g of the vitamin. One tablet was dissolved in water to form 100.00 mL of solution, and 10.0-mL of that solution was titrated with iodine (as potassium triiodide). It required 10.1 mL of 0.0521 M I3-(aq) to reach the stoichiometric point in the titration. Given that 1 mol L,- reacts with 1 mol vitamin C in the reaction, is the manufacturer s claim correct The molar mass of vitamin C is 176 g-mol-1. 

In the Phadebas TM amylase test (72) (Pharmacia Labs) the substrate was a water insoluble cross-TTnked blue starch in tablet form which also contains some inert ingredients, sodium and potassium phosphate buffer salts and sodium chloride. This polymer was hydrolyzed by amylase into water soluble blue starch fragments. After centrifugation the absorbance of the blue supernatant was proportional to the activity of amylase present in the test samples. The day to day variation on a quality control serum had a coefficient of variation of 2.7% based on 30 days of data in our laboratory. The method is simple, reproducible and uses microquantities of serum. 

A second group of compounds, formed by N-chloro derivatization of heterocyclic compounds containing a nitrogen in the ring, includes the sodium and potassium salts of dichloroisocyanuric acid (e.g. NaDCC). These are available in granule or tablet... 

Some tablets combine sustained-release and rapid disintegration characteristics. Products such as K-Dur (Key Pharmaceuticals) combine coated potassium chloride crystals in a rapidly releasing tablet. In this particular instance, the crystals are coated with ethylcellulose, a water-insoluble polymer, and are then incorporated into a rapidly disintegrating microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) matrix. The purpose of this tablet is to minimize GI ulceration, commonly encountered by patients treated with potassium chloride. This simple but elegant formulation is an example of a solid dosage form strategy used to achieve clinical goals. 

MRH Barium chlorate 5.06/83, calcium chlorate 5.61/77, potassium chlorate 6.07/76, sodium bromate 4.98/80, sodium chlorate 7.32/75, zinc chlorate 6.11/76 Dry finely divided mixtures of red (or white) phosphorus with chlorates, bromates or iodates of barium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium or zinc will readily explode on initiation by friction, impact or heat. Fires have been caused by accidental contact in the pocket between the red phosphorus in the friction strip on safety-match boxes and potassium chlorate tablets. Addition of a little water to a mixture of white or red phosphorus and potassium iodate causes a violent or explosive reaction. Addition of a little of a solution of phosphorus in carbon disulfide to potassium chlorate causes an explosion when the solvent evaporates. The extreme danger of mixtures of red phosphorus (or sulfur) with chlorates was recognised in the UK some 50 years ago when unlicenced preparation of such mixtures was prohibited by Orders in Council. 

Yellow phosphorus ignites in molten ammonium nitrate, and mixtures of phosphorus with ammonium nitrate, mercuiy(I) nitrate or silver nitrate explode on impact. Red phosphorus is oxidised vigorously when heated with potassium nitrate [1]. During development of new refining agents for aluminium manufacture, a mixture containing red phosphorus (16%) and sodium nitrate (35%) was being pressed into 400 g tablets. When the die pressure was increased to 70 bar, a violent explosion occurred [2],... 

Vishwavidyalaya et al. [22] used a difference-spectrophotometric method for the estimation of primaquine phosphate in tablets. One portion of powdered tablets, equivalent to 7.5 mg of primaquine phosphate, was extracted with hydrochloric acid-potassium chloride buffer (pH 2) and a second portion was extracted with phosphate buffer (pH 10). Primaquine phosphate was determined from the difference in absorbance of the acid and alkaline extracts at 254.2 nm. The calibration graph was rectilinear from 2 to 14 pg/mL of primaquine phosphate. Recovery was 98.6% and no interference was observed from excipients. Results compared with those by the British Pharmacopoeial method.

It should be remembered that this conversion is only approximate. Several other approximations have been used on the labels of certain tablets. For example. Saccharin tablets from Eli Lilly Company shows V2 gr (32 mg) on its label whereas the phenobarbital tablets from the same company have 30 mg (Z2 gr) on its label. Similarly sodium bicarbonate tablets from Eli Lilly have 5 grs (325 mg) on its label and potassium iodide from the same company has 300 mg (5 grs) on its container label. In the present book, it is advised to use one grain equivalent as 65 mg.

Potassium iodine tablets can be used to reduce radioactive iodine exposure to the thyroid gland. According to the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP), taking 130 milligrams of potassium iodine at or before exposure to radioactive iodine effectively blocks nearly 100% of radioactive iodine from reaching the thyroid.1 Waiting 4 hours after exposure to take potassium iodine...
