Stability evaluation of compounded clonidine hydrochloride oral liquids based on a solid-phase extraction HPLC-UV method.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to assess the stability of clonidine hydrochloride oral liquids (20-μg/mL) prepared from two different generic tablets in Ora-Blend and stored in amber plastic bottles. Physical and chemical stabilities were evaluated over a period of 90 days at 25°C. Analytical challenges were overcome with the development of a new extraction procedure based on solid phase extraction to ensure efficient clonidine hydrochloride quantification. The absence of physical instabilities, evaluated by qualitative and quantitative measurements (static multiple light scattering), as well as the absence of chemical instabilities, evidenced by a stability-indicating HPLC-UV method, confirmed that a beyond-use date of 90 days was appropriate for these compounded oral liquids.
