Stability of an Alternative Extemporaneous Captopril Fast-Dispersing Tablet Formulation Versus an Extemporaneous Oral Liquid Formulation

The results of this study support only a 7-day stability for the currently dispensed captopril OL in hospitals in Ireland. In contrast, a stability of at least 56 days was shown with the FDTs. The FDTs may represent an alternative and convenient oral solid extemporaneous preparation of captopril and, potentially, other extemporaneous pediatric medications.
