BRIEFING

Methamphetamine Hydrochloride. This proposal is based on the version of the monograph official as of May 1, 2020. It is proposed to revise the monograph with the following changes:

  1. The Acceptance criteria in the Definition and Assay are revised from 98.5%–100.5% to 98.0%–102.0% to be consistent with drug substance monographs.

  2. Revise Identification A to allow the flexibility of using either 197A or 197K.

  3. Add Identification B with the chromatographic retention time agreement from the Assay.

  4. Rename Identification B to Identification C.

  5. In the Assay:

    • Rename "diluted glacial acetic acid (7 in 50)" in the Mobile phase as Solution A.

    • In the Chromatographic system section, add the particle size of the analytical Column and a Run time for clarity.

    • In the System suitability section, tighten the %RSD from NMT 2.0% to NMT 0.73% to be consistent with the expectations for modern chromatographic systems, based on the supporting data and delete the Column efficiency requirement.

 Organic Impurities test is not included in this revision. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit their FDA-approved specifications for the Expert Committee's consideration.

 Additionally, minor editorial changes have been made to update the monograph to current USP style.
