Fenoprofen: drug form selection and preformulation stability studies. 1978

C A Hirsch, and R J Messenger, and J L Brannon

Several fenoprofen salts were prepared to obtain the most acceptable form for an oral dosage formulation. Thermal analysis techniques were used to compare stabilities of the water of hydration in different salt forms and to assess the effects of the water of hydration on compatibility with propoxyphene and codeine salts. Photodegradation products of fenoprofen were isolated and identified, and their relevance to product formulation was evaluated.
