ORA-Blend SF is a flavored sugar-free oral suspending vehicle used to simplify the process involved in the extemporaneous compounding of oral suspensions. Medicated powder can be incorporated into ORA-Blend SF to form elegant, uniform and physically stable suspensions.
Applications
ORA-Blend SF combines the suspending properties of ORA-Plus® with the flavoring agents of ORA-Sweet® SF and is ideal for:
• Pediatric suspensions • Geriatric suspensions
Properties
ORA-Blend SF is an aqueous-based sweetened vehicle consisting of a synergistic blend of suspending agents that have a high degree of colloidal activity. The suspending agents form a structured, gel-like matrix which suspends particles and allow for little settling. ORA-Blend SF is buffered to a slightly acidic pH to help reduce degradation of medicinal agents through oxidation. An anti-foam agent is incorporated in ORA-Blend SF to allow for vigorous shaking with minimal foam.
