E-DRUG: rectal formulation of chloralhydrate

E-DRUG: rectal formulation of chloralhydrate (cont)
---------------------------------------------------

In the dutch pharmacists formulary (FNA) one can find formulas for
CHLORALHYDRATE supositories using PEG as basis (higher Bioavailability,
more consistent, reliable release of active ingredient) in plastic supp
moulds (incompatible with metal) and a solution in sesamoil (300mg)as a
rectiole.
Hope it will be helpful, we made this some time back , but there was no
great demand for it, probably because there are diazepam rectioles provided
in the essential drug kits. Eventually we discarded the Chloralhydrate raw
material.
