Question

state the aseptic technique used in preparation of atropine sulphate eye ointment​

Answer 1

Answer:

Proceed with the Ophthalmic Ointment as directed in the Assay under Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution, except that when preparing the Assay preparation, weigh accurately a portion of Ophthalmic Ointment, equivalent to about 10 mg of atropine sulphate, transfer to a separator containing 50 mL of ether, shake to dissolve, extract with three 25-mL portions of 0.1 M sulfuric acid, collect the acid which extracts in a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with 0.1 M sulfuric acid to volume, and mix.

Explanation:

Hands should be washed before applying eye ointments. To avoid infection, avoid touching the tube tip or allowing it to come into contact with your eye. To construct a pouch, tilt your head back, look upward, and gently pull down the lower eyelid. Fill the pouch with a 1/4-inch (0.5-centimeter) strip of ointment.
