Omeprazole-sodium bicarbonate suspension 2 mg/mL prepared from 20 mg packets was stable for at least 45 days when stored at 3-5 degrees C. A partial dose of 12.7 mg was stable following exposure to SGF for 2 hours at 37 degrees C. This suspension can be easily administered through 5, 6, and 8 French neonatal/pediatric feeding tubes and, when taking time and ease of preparation into account, it is cost competitive with simple omeprazole suspension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
