ORA-Blend® Flavored Suspending Vehicle
ORA-Blend® is an aqueous-based flavored oral suspending vehicle used to simplify the process of compounding oral preparations. Properties: ORA-Blend® is a sweetened vehicle that consists of a synergistic blend of suspending agents that have a high degree of colloidal activity, forming a gel-like matrix which suspends particles and allow for little settling. ORA-Blend® is buffered to a slightly acidic pH to help reduce degradation of medicinal agents through oxidation and contains anti-foam agents to allow for vigorous shaking with minimal foam. Applications: ORA-Blend® combines the suspending properties of ORA-Plus ® with the flavoring and sweetness agents of ORA-Sweet ®, and is ideal for pediatric and geriatric suspensions.
