Cloxacillin Sodium Intramammary Infusion

Type of Posting Notice of Intent to Revise
Posting Date 23–Feb–2018    
Targeted Official Date To be determined, In-Process Revision
Expert Committee Biologics Monographs 4

In accordance with section 7.04 (c) of the 2015–2020 Rules and Procedures of the Council of Experts, this is to provide notice that the USP Biologics Monographs 4 Expert Committee intends to revise the Cloxacillin Sodium Intramammary Infusion monograph.

The Expert Committee proposes to revise the monograph’s Assay test from a microbiological-based test to a chromatographic-based to align with the drug substance and related drug products. As described in the USP Cloxacillin Sodium RS Certificate, the RS is assigned a value  using a mass balance approach. In addition, the title of the monograph may change to align with current nomenclature practices described in USP Chapter <1121> Nomenclature.

It is anticipated that the proposed revision will be published in the future once the laboratory work is complete as an In-process Revision in the Pharmacopeial Forum pursuant to section 7.02 of the Rules and Procedures.
