5. Project I: Development <strong>of</strong> preparations for transmucosal nasal midazolam delivery<br />

5.3.3 Specification and stability testing<br />

Table 5-4 shows the composition <strong>of</strong> the preparations provided for Project II and III. All preparations<br />

are aqueous solutions and osmolality is adjusted with sodium chloride to 300mOsmol/kg. Table 5-5<br />

displays the specification <strong>of</strong> all midazolam nasal sprays prepared for Project II and Project III. For<br />

all investigational products a shelf life <strong>of</strong> 6 months was proposed.<br />
