The fine-particle characteristics of preparations for inhalation are determined using the method described in Appendix XII C7. Preparations for inhalation: Aerodynamic Assessment of Fine Particles. The test and limits should be agreed with the competent authority.<\/p>\n<p>The water content is controlled to ensure the performance of the product as justified and authorised by the competent authority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content of beclometasone dipropionate, C<sub>28<\/sub>H<sub>37<\/sub>ClO<sub>7<\/sub><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When supplied as disks, 90.0 to 110.0% of the stated amount per pre-metered unit.

In the Assay, the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) has the same retention time as the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2).<\/p>\n<p>B. Disperse a quantity of powder, containing the equivalent of 200 \u03bcg of beclometasone dipropionate in 5 mL of 1M sodium hydroxide in a 25 mL conical flask. Add three drops of copper sulfate solution and shake. A precipitate may form which dissolves to give a clear blue solution. Heat the solution to boiling; a red precipitate is produced.<\/p>\n<p>C. For products containing lactose disperse 0.25 g of the powder for inhalation in 5 mL of water. Add 5 mL of 6M ammonia and heat in a water-bath at 80\u00b0 for 10 minutes. An orange-red colour is produced.<\/p>\n<h2>TESTS<\/h2>\n<h3>Uniformity of delivered dose<\/h3>\n<p>Complies with the requirements stated under Inhalation Powders using the following method of analysis.
