The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents. Each gram of Amcinonide Ointment USP, 0.1% contains 1 mg of the active steroid amcinonide in a specially formulated base composed of Benzyl Alcohol 2%, (wt/wt) as preservative, White Petrolatum, USP, Emulsifying Wax, and Antioxidant Blend (Propylene Glycol, Butylated Hydroxyanisole, Propyl Gallate and Citric Acid). Chemically, amcinonide is: Pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione,21-(acetyloxy)-16,17-[cyclopentylidenebis(oxy)]-9-fluoro-11-hydroxy-, (11β, 16α). Chemical Formula

Folic acid, N-[ p -[[(2-amino-4- hydroxy-6-pteridinyl) methyl]- amino] benzoyl]-L glutamic acid, is a B complex vitamin containing a pteridine moiety linked by a methylene bridge to para -aminobenzoic acid, which is joined by a peptide linkage to glutamic acid. Conjugates of folic acid are present in a wide variety of foods, particularly liver, kidneys, yeast, and leafy green vegetables. Commercially available folic acid is prepared synthetically. Folic acid, USP occurs as a yellow or yellowish-orange crystalline powder and is very slightly soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. Folic acid, USP is readily soluble in dilute solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates, and solutions of the drug may be prepared with the aid of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, thereby forming the soluble sodium salt of folic acid (sodium folate). Aqueous solutions of folic acid are heat sensitive and rapidly decompose in the presence of light and/or riboflavin; solutions should be stored in a cool place protected from light. The structural formula of folic acid is as follows: M.W. 441.40 Each 1 mL of solution, for oral administration, contains 0.2 mg folic acid, USP. FOLIC ACID Oral Solution, 0.2 mg/mL contains the following inactive ingredients: edetate disodium, methylparaben, mixed berry flavor, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sodium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic, and sorbitol solution. Chemical Structure

OXAPROZIN CAPSULES (oxaprozin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, available as capsules of 300 mg for oral administration. The chemical name is 4,5-diphenyl-2-oxazole-propionic acid. The molecular weight is 293.32 g/mol. Its molecular formula is C 18 H 15 NO 3 , and it has the following chemical structure. Oxaprozin is a white to off-white powder with a slight odor and a melting point of 162°C to 163°C. It is slightly soluble in alcohol and insoluble in water, with an octanol/water partition coefficient of 4.8 at physiologic pH (7.4). The pK a in water is 4.3. The inactive ingredients in OXAPROZIN CAPSULES include: microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized corn starch, hypromellose 2910, sodium starch glycolate, stearic acid, and silicon dioxide. OXAPROZIN CAPSULES 300 mg capsules are white opaque capsules imprinted “403” on the cap in black ink. Chemical Structure

Ultramicrosize Griseofulvin Tablets, USP contain ultramicrosize crystals of griseofulvin, an antibiotic derived from a species of Penicillium . Griseofulvin crystals are partly dissolved in polyethylene glycol 8000 and partly dispersed throughout the label matrix. Each Ultramicrosize Griseofulvin Tablet, USP contains 165 mg ultramicrosize griseofulvin, USP. The inactive ingredients for Ultramicrosize Griseofulvin Tablets, USP include: corn starch, lactose anhydrous, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol 8000, and sodium lauryl sulfate. ACTIONS Microbiology Griseofulvin is fungistatic with in vitro activity against various species of Microsporum, Epidermophyton , and Trichophyton . It has no effect on bacteria or on other genera of fungi. Human Pharmacology Following oral administration, griseofulvin is deposited in the keratin precursor cells and has a greater affinity for diseased tissue. The drug is tightly bound to the new keratin which becomes highly resistant to fungal invasions. The efficiency of gastrointestinal absorption of ultramicrocrystalline griseofulvin is approximately one and one-half times that of the conventional microsize griseofulvin. This factor permits the oral intake of two-thirds as much ultramicrocrystalline griseofulvin as the microsize form. However, there is currently no evidence that this lower dose confers any significant clinical differences with regard to safety and/or efficacy.
