BRIEFING

 Famotidine Compounded Injection. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this compounded preparation, a new monograph based on a validated stability-indicating method is being proposed. The liquid chromatographic procedure in the Assay is based on analyses validated using the Xbridge C18 brand of analytical column with L1 packing. The typical retention time for famotidine is about 15.4 min.
