value for the drug is 0.23.
Solution:
PSA = 0.9-(PSM X E of medicament)
= 0.9- (1x0.23)
= 0.67

Practical problem No.3
Calculate the gram of sodium chloride needed to make
30mL of a 2% isotonic physostigmine salicylate solution
using sodium chloride method.
(E value of Physostigmine salicilate= 0.16)
Solution:
E value of Physostigmine salicilate= 0.16
PSM=2.0%
:[
Volume of the preparation required=30mL
PSA = 0.9-(PSM X E of medicament)
=0.9-(2 x 0.16)
.÷÷
= 0.9-0.32 = 0.58% (for 100mL)
For 100mL of solution, sodium chloride required = 0.58
For 30mL of solution, sodium chloride required = ?
= 30x0.58/100 = 17.4/100 = 0.174g of sodium chloride.
0.174g of sodium chloride is required to make 30mL of given
drug solution isotonic.
