Simethicone Suspension

This product is highly prone to microbial contamination. All equipment coming into contact with the product should be treated with a freshly prepared sodium hypochlorite solution (100 ppm), made with freshly boiled and cooled town water on the day of use. Bottles and caps should also be so treated. Freshly boiled and cooled purified water should be used for rinsing. 

Charge 285 mL purified water into a suitable jacketed tank and heat to 90° to 95°C. 

Add and dissolve parabens, acid benzoic, saccharin sodium, and potassium citrate. 

While maintaining temperature at 85° to 90°C, add, in small quantities, half the quantity of magaldrate cake or powder, if used, and disperse well. (Adjust the speed of agitator and of the homogenizer to ensure effective mixing and to maintain free mobility of the suspension.) 

Add sorbitol solution and mix well. Raise the temperature, if necessary, maintaining temperature at 85° to 90°C.

Animals should be bathed with soap and copious amounts of cold water. Using small amounts of water can actually increase irritation (Lee et al, 1984). Topically applied magnesium hydroxide-aluminum hydroxide-simethicone suspension (Maalox Max ) caused resolution signs within 2 min after application after exposure to OC. If chemical bums develop, clean wounds with a mild disinfectant soap and water. Pain control and antibiotics may be needed. Tetanus toxoid should be given if bums are present. With oral ingestions, antacids may help decrease gastrointestinal signs.

Foams can occur in the intestines where they may cause indigestion, pain, and/or a sense of being full, collectively known as dyspepsia [884]. Pharmaceuticals designed to combat dyspepsia usually contain antifoams, antacids, and possibly enzymes [884]. The most common antifoams seem to be polymethylsiloxanes (referred to as dimethicone in pharmaceutical literature [884]) mixed with hydrophobic particles, such as hydrophobic silica. The formulation is delivered as a tablet, suspension, or emulsion (simethicone tablets simethicone oral suspensions simethicone emulsions). Foams can also be used to administer drugs, such as in contraceptive foams. 

Artefacts that arise from gas in the stomach and adjacent bowel often limit the diagnostic accuracy of abdominal ultrasound. Research to overcome this problem has focused on cellulose-based suspensions. An agent has been developed based on simethicone-coated cellulose— SonoRx (Bracco Diagnostics, Princeton, NJ), which displaces and disperses gas bubbles. In a phase 2 chnical study, 93 patients underwent upper abdominal sonography before and after a randomized dose of the contrast agent (200, 400, 600, 800, or 1000 ml) (15). Anatomical visualization was improved as follows the stomach in 82% of patients, the duodenum in 63%, the pancreatic head and body in 61%, and the pancreatic tail in 67%. There were 14 adverse events in 11 patients and only five were considered to be related to the contrast agent. The main adverse effects were mild diarrhea and nausea. 

Pharmaceutical liquids require very minimal sample preparation they can be injected directly, diluted in mobile phase or other suitable diluent, or extracted into an organic solvent. A diluent is chosen to maintain solubility of the analyte as well as compatibility with the chromatographic system. Pharmaceutical suspensions must be pretreated to dissolve the drug prior to analysis. Another liquid dosage form is an emulsion, in which the liquid is suspended in a second immiscible liquid such as polydimethylsilicone. The sample preparation must break the emulsion. In the analysis of a polydimethylsilicone suspension, a liquid-liquid extraction is generally used to break the emulsion and prepare the sample for simethicone measurement.
