ORA-Sweet® SF Sugar-Free Oral Syrup Vehicle
ORA-Sweet® SF is a sugar-free and alcohol-free syrup used to simplify the flavoring and sweetening process of compounded oral preparations. Properties: ORA-Sweet® SF contains no sugar or alcohol. A small amount of sodium saccharin imparts a sweet taste and a blend of citrus and berry flavoring agents increases palatability. Xanthan gum, glycerin and sorbitol contribute to texture and good flow characteristics. ORA-Sweet® SF is buffered to a slightly acidic pH to help reduce oxidative degradation of medicinal agents. Applications: ORA-Sweet® SF can be used alone or in combination with other agents. It retains its aromatic properties when diluted up to 50% with water or suspending agents. Its versatility makes it ideal for pediatric and geriatric suspensions. Directions for use: ORA-Sweet® SF can be used in combination with any suspension vehicle, but is specially formulated to complement ORA-Plus® suspension vehicle; combined in a 50/50 ratio.
