Assay for neomycin— Proceed with Ointment as directed in the Assay under Neomycin Sulfate Ointment.
Assay for flurandrenolide— Proceed with Ointment as directed in the Assay under Flurandrenolide Cream. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C24H33FO6 in the portion of Ointment taken by the formula:
10C(rU / rS),
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Flurandrenolide RS in the Standard preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
