Ganciclovir

 

Anaiazi et al have reported the stability of ganciclovir liquid compounded from capsules in base of Ora- Sweet or Ora-Sweet SF . A 100 mg/mL oral liquid is stable for 120 days at 23-25 C in these bases. The final pH was 4.5. Microbial testing was not performed and a shorter expiry date (eg 30 days) is more appropriate.
