Study on the Stability of 0.5% Timolol Maleate Eye Drops / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the stability of timolol maleate eye drops and predict its storage period at room temperature METHODS:Timolol maleate was determined by UV-spectrophotometry,initial average rate method was used in predicting the expiry term RESULTS:Stability of the 0 5% timolol maleate eye drops was not so good,expiry term predicted at 25℃ was only 70 days,while at 5℃ was as long as 1 2 years CONCLUSIONS:Initial average rate method is rapid,convenient and precise,so it is suitable for stability study of hospital preparations
