1 DEFINITION
Clomipramine Hydrochloride Compounded Oral Suspension, Veterinary contains NLT 90.0% and NMT 110.0% of the labeled amount of clomipramine hydrochloride (C19H23ClN2 · HCl). Prepare Clomipramine Hydrochloride Compounded Oral Suspension, Veterinary 1 mg/mL as follows (see Pharmaceutical Compounding-Nonsterile Preparations 〈795〉):
Clomipramine Hydrochloride tabletsa equivalent to | 100 mg of clomipramine hydrochloride |
Vehicle: a 1:1 mixture of Ora-Plusb and Ora-Sweet SFb, a sucient quantity to make | 100 mL |
a Clomicalm 20-mg tablets, Novartis Animal Health, Greensboro, NC.
b Perrigo, Allegan, MI.
Place the Clomipramine Hydrochloride tablets in a suitable container and comminute to a fine powder. Wet the powder with a small amount of Vehicle and triturate to make a smooth paste. Add the Vehicle to make the mortar contents pourable. Transfer contents stepwise and quantitatively to a calibrated container using the remainder of the Vehicle. Add sufficient Vehicle to bring to final volume. Shake to mix well.

Analysis
Samples: Standard solution and Sample solution
Calculate the percentage of the labeled amount of clomipramine hydrochloride (C19H23ClN2 · HCl) in the portion of Oral Suspension, Veterinary taken:
Result = (ru/rs) × (Cs/Cu) × 100
ru = peak response of clomipramine hydrochloride from the Sample solution
rs = peak response of clomipramine hydrochloride from the Standard solution
Cs = concentration of USP Clomipramine Hydrochloride RS in the Standard solution (mg/mL)
Cu = nominal concentration of clomipramine hydrochloride in the Sample solution (mg/mL)
Acceptance criteria: 90.0%-110.0%
