Parameters of formulation process in manufacturing and storage phase.

Set-up phaseParameters evaluation

Temperature of about 75°C guarantees a complete fusion of all excipients and absence of aggregates
ManufacturingSonication avoids air bubbles formation (Figure 2(a)) contributing to obtain a homogenous dispersion of diazepam powder into fused matrix
Mould filling has been performed by analytical balance in order to uniform mass content at about 3.6 grams
Storage Pessaries must not be exposed to solar light and they must be stored at 4°C in order to preserve diazepam activity
