Ingredient-specific information
Partial evidenceEthanol 96%: Ethanol: flammable vapour; control ignition sources and provide suitable ventilation. Final classification depends on concentration/mixture.
These are selected facts for identified ingredients; relevant sensitivities and incompatibilities are detailed in the corresponding fields. This is not a complete SDS for every material.
References: [2]
Personal protective equipment
Partial evidenceComplete formula-specific PPE is not specified. Select gloves, eye protection and exposure controls using the exact materials’ SDS and the local risk assessment.
Supplementary AEMPS framework: clean long-sleeved laboratory clothing, hair covering and dedicated footwear/overshoes. Powder handling requires suitable eye/respiratory protection; change gloves with activity or damage. Select the exact type/material using SDS and risk assessment.
Risks and precautions
Partial evidenceEthanol: flammable vapour; control ignition sources and provide suitable ventilation. Final classification depends on concentration/mixture.

Compounding conditions
Documented in sourceThe corresponding AEMPS SOP specifies room temperature 25 ± 5°C and relative humidity ≤60%, unless the particular formula requires otherwise. This is the work environment, not processing or storage temperature.
Follow the addition sequence, temperatures and times stated under Preparation Procedure. The specific monograph is not a complete qualification of the local facility/equipment.
BUD rationale
Documented in source6 months under the source conditions.
The source period applies to its exact composition, method and packaging. It is not this batch’s expiry date and cannot be transferred to another vehicle/strength. Calculate the actual date in the blank batch record.

Preparation procedure
Documented in sourceDeaggregate carbomer 940. Disperse in propylene glycol, ethanol and preserved water. Rest 24 h. Add sufficient trolamine to pH 6–6.5, stirring carefully without entraining air.
Observations
Documented in sourceThe source’s ethanol variant up to 25% is not applied here.

Packaging
Documented in sourceOpaque jar, protect from moisture, <25°C.

Quality control
Partial evidenceFirm transparent colourless gel, pH 6–6.5.
Additional tests from the referenced SOP:
Appearance and mass. For batches: spreadability, pH and microbiological testing RFE 5.1.4.
pH under PN/CP/001: normally test the untreated sample unless otherwise specified. Accurate measurement follows potentiometric RFE 2.2.3; strips are limited to checks not requiring high accuracy.
Spreadability PN/CP/003: fixed sample quantity between glass plates, with locally defined successive loads and times; measure two diameters and compare area against load. Temperature variation of ±0.5°C is suggested. The source gives no universal acceptance limit; establish it locally.
Storage
Documented in sourceOpaque jar, protect from moisture, <25°C.

Dispensing and directions
Partial evidenceNo additional special directions are established beyond the source route, storage and notes. Complete patient details, dose and directions from the prescription.
