VISCOSITY ; (911)
Carefully add 2.5 gm, previously dried in vacuum at 80 deg for 1 hour, to 500 ml ofwater in a 1000 ml beaker, while stirring continuously at 1000 +/- 10 rpm, with the
stirrershaft set at an angle of 60 deg and to one side of the beaker , with the propeller
positioned near the bottom of the beaker. Allow 45 to 90 seconds for the addition of thetest preparation at a uniform rate, being sure that loose aggregates of powder are broken
up, and continue stirring at 1000 +/- 10 rpm for 15 minutes. Remove the stirrer, and
place the beaker containing the dispersion in a 25 +/- 0.2 deg water bath for 30 minutes.
Insert the stirrer to a depth necessary to ensure that air is not drawn into the dispersion,and while stirring at 300 +7- 10 rpm, titrate (see Titrimetry (541) with a calomel-glass
electrode system to a pH of between 7.3 and 7.8 by adding sodium hydroxide solution
(18 in 100) below the surface, determining the end point potentiometrically. The total
volume of sodium hydroxide solution (18 in 100) used is about 6.2 ml . Allow 2 to 3minutes before the final pH determination. [ Note If the final pH exceeds 7.8, discard
the mucilage , and prepare another using a smaller amount of sodium hydroxide fortitration]
Return the neutralized mucilage to 25 deg water-bath for 1 hour, then perform theviscosity determination without delay to avoid slight viscosity changes that occur 75
minutes after neutralization. Equip a suitable rotational viscometerwith a spindle having
a cylinder 1.47 cm in diameter and 0.16 cm high attached to a shaft 0.32 cm in diameter,
the distance from the top of the cylinder to the lower tip of the shaft being 3.02 cm, andthe immersion depth being 4.92 cm (No. 6 spindle). With the spindle rotating at 20 rpm,
observe and record the scale reading. Calculate the viscosity , in centipoises, bymultiplying the scale reading by the constant for the spindle used at 20 rpm.
LOSS ON DRYING:
(731)Dry it in a vacuum at 80 deg for 1 hour; it loses not more than 2.0 % of its weight.

% phase G39 on support S7. The injector and detector are maintained at temperatures of
about 200 deg. The column temperature is maintained at 80 deg for 4 minutes, then
raised at the rate of 5 deg per minute to 150 deg. The carrier gas is nitrogen , flowing at arate of 20 ml per minute. Treat and inject the Standard preparation as directed under
procedure, and measure the peak response for benzene. The relative standard deviation
for replicate injection is not more than 5.0 %
PROCEDURE : - [ In the following chromatographic procedure, the use ofheadspaceapparatuses that automatically transfer the measured amount ofheadspace is preferable tohandling heated syringes for injecting the heated specimen.] Immerse the vials up to the
rim of the cap in a thermostatic bath, maintained at a temperature of 85 deg , for at least
30 minutes. Using a 2 ml of gas syringe preheated in an oven at 100 +/- 2 deg, inject
rapidly 1.0 ml of the gaseous phase from each vial separately into the chromatograph, andmeasure the peak responses for benzene. Calculate the quantify , in ug, of benzene in the

potassium chloride, 0.1 ml of diphenylamine solution and, dropwise withshaking, 5 ml of sulphuric acid. Transfer the tube to a water-bath at 50 and
allow to stand for 15 minutes. Any blue colour in the solution is not more
intense than that in a solution prepared at the same time and in the same
manner using a mixture of 4.5 ml of nitrate-free water and 0.5 ml of nitratestandard solution (2 ppm N03) (0.2 ppm).
SULPHATE:
To 10 ml add 0.1 ml of 2 M hydrochloric acid and 0.1 ml of barium chloride
solution. The appearance of the solution does not change for at least 1 hour.
OXIDISABLE SUBSTANCES:
To 100 ml add 10 ml of 1 M sulphuric acid and 0.1 ml of 0.02 M potassiumpermanganate and boil for 5 minutes ; the solution remains faintly pink.
RESIDUE ON EVAPORATION:
Evaporate 100 ml to dryness on a water-bath and dry to constant weight at105. The residue weighs not more than 1 mg (0.001 %).

BIOAVAILABILITY STUDIES
Babaretal prepared gels and ointment bases containing piroxicam 1% in order to study
the in-vitro release of the drug. The gel contained hypromellose,propylene glycol,sodium hydroxide, methyl and propyi hydroxybenzoates and purified water. The
modified hydrophilic bases contained white softparrafin,stearyl alcohol, sodium lauryl
sulphate, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, methyl and propyi hydroxybenzoates andpurified water. The emulsion basis contained liquid paraffin, isopropyi lanolate, stearic
acid TP,cetyl alcohol, self emulsifying glyceryl monostearate,triethanolamine,glycerol,
sodium hydroxide, methyl and propyi hydroxybenzoates and purified water. The generalrank order of in- vitro drug release through a cellulose membrane from all bases
evaluated was: gel basis>hydrophillic basis>emulsion basis. Drug release was adversely
affected by inclusion of ethanol or macrogol 400. The gel basis (containing also
dimethylsulphoxide) produced best in - vitro drug release both through me cellulose
membrane and hair less mouse skin.
Tsai et al found that the percutaneous absorbtion of piroxicam from an oil-in-water
ointment bases (university of California Hospital basis containing 12 % propylene
glycol), in rabbits was superior to that from three otherUSP ointments ( Simple ointment,macrogol ointment, and petrolatum rose water ointment). When the water(pH 7.2 ) in the
oil-in-water ointment basis was replaced by sodium bicarbonate-buffered solution (pH
9.2), percutaneous absorbtion of piroxicam was increased. The optimal effect wasattained with the addition of 5 % urea.
The relative bioavailabilities of two commercially available piroxicam 20 mgsuppositories in dogs were found to be similar and greater than the oral bioavailability of
a piroxicam capsule following administration of single doses of the preparation. Marked
inter individual and intra-individual difference in absorption were noted.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent used in musculoskeletol and joint
disorders . Piroxicam is well absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract; peak plasmaconcentrations area reached 3 to 5 hours after oral dose. It is metabolised in the liver by
hydrosylation and conjugation with glucuronic acid and excreted predominantly in the
urine with smaller amounts in the faeces. Enterohepatic recycling occurs. Less than 5 %
of the dose is excreated unchanged. Piroxicam is extensively bound to plasma proteins(about 99%) and has a long plasma half-life of approximately 50 hours.

TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
ADVERSE EFFECTS
The most frequent adverse effect occuring with Piroxicam are local irritation and
erythema , pruritus, dermatitis, photosensitivity. Oedema, Vomiting, Nausea, Heartburn,
Epigastric distress, tinnitus, skin rash. A report of the adverse reactions associated withpiroxicam received by the Medicines Safety Centre in South Africa including two
reactions,paraesthesia and hair loss, not previously recorded in the literature - Gerver
D. Adverse reaction of piroxicam. Drug intell din Pharm 1987 ; 21: 707-10
EFFECT ON SKIN;
As with otherNSAIDs, rash has occurred in patients taking piroxicam.
Phototoxic reactions have been described, Seroius skin reaction attributed to piroxicamtherapy include toxic epidermal necrolysis and pemphigus vulgaris.
EFFECTS ON THE BLOOD :
Decrease in haemoglobin and haematocrit not associated with obvious gastro-intestinal
bleeding, have occurred in patients taking piroxicam. Thrombocytopenia,thrombocytopenicpurpura and aplastic anaemia have been described in patients on
piroxicam.
EFFECTS ON THE ELECTROLYTES :
Reversible hyperkalaemichyperchloraemicacidosis in patients receiving piroxicam.
EFFECTS ON GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT ;
In the past it has been suggested that piroxicam may have a higher incidence of gastro-
intestinal adverse effects than other NSAIDs. However, while the commonest side effects
of piroxicam are indeed gastro-intestinal, it would appear from the present evidence thatthe overall incidence of such reactions is not appreciably higher with piroxicam than with
othernon-steroidal anti- inflammatory agents.

EFFECTS ON KIDNEYS ;
Acute nephropathy with characteristic features ofHenoch-Schonlein purpura, acute renal
failure, uraemia with hyperkalaemia, and acute intestinal nephritis have been associated
withpiroxicam.
EFFECTS ON LIVER:
A report of a patient who presented with features of acute hepatocellular injury aftertaking piroxicam 40 mg daily for 3 days; the liver disorder progressed to subacute hepatic
necrosis and the patient died.
DRUG INTERACTION :
Anticoagulants:Potentiation.
Diuretics : Increased risk of renal damage.
Aspirin : Reduces serum piroxicam.
Corticosteroids, oral anticoagulants andNSAIDs: Increased risk of bleeding.Lithium :Incresed serum lithium,
