BRIEFING

 Metronidazole Compounded Oral Suspension. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this compounded preparation, a new monograph based on a validated stability-indicating method for assessing stability is proposed. The liquid chromatographic procedure in the Assay is based on analyses validated using the Acquity UPLC BEH C18 brand of analytical column with L1 packing. The typical retention time for metronidazole is about 1.9 min.
