This document describes the components and preparation of syrups. It defines syrup as a concentrated aqueous solution of sugar or sugar substitute, which may contain flavorings or medicinal agents. There are three main types of syrup: simple syrup containing only sugar and water, medicated syrup containing active ingredients, and flavored syrup used as a vehicle for other liquids. Syrup preparation involves heating sugar and water until dissolved to the desired concentration, and may incorporate additional steps for heat-sensitive substances or those requiring percolation. Common syrups are described including their ingredients, proportions, preparation methods, and intended uses.

• Concentrated solution of a sugar usually Method of Preparation
sucrose in water 1. Solution with the aid of Heat • Concentrated aqueous solutions of a sugar / sugar substitute with or without added ✓ Sucrose is added to water and heated until flavoring agent and medicinal agent solution is effected (substances) sugar substitutes ✓ Endpoint: syrup should be clear • Sugars = sucrose ✓ Advantage: FAST ✓ Disadvantage: Excessive heating will 5 Components of Syrup cause inversion of sucrose - glucose + • Sugar / sugar substitutes – Polyols -> fructose (sweeter, with an increase polyhydric alcohols (example: sorbitol and tendency to ferment) or recrystallize gylcerol) maybe added to retard ✓ Caramelize, yellowish to brownish in color crystallization of sucrose and enhance ✓ For heat stable substance solubility ✓ Examples: Acacia syrup, cocoa syrup, • Antimicrobial preservatives syrup USP • Flavorants - mask the taste of the drug 2. Solution without the aid of Heat • Colorants – match the flavorants • Stabilizers ✓ Advantage: For substance that are heat sensitive 3 Kinds of Syrup ✓ Disadvantage: Slowest and time- consuming method 1. Simple Syrup ✓ Example : Ferrous Sulfate ✓ Clear, concentrated, sweet, aqueous, 3. Percolation hypertonic solution with striations ✓ Its concentration is either 85% w/v or 65% ✓ Permits the purified water to pass slowly w/w through a bed of crystalline sucrose to ✓ Specific gravity of 1.313 dissolve it ✓ SELF PRESERVING ✓ Use percolator ✓ Non medicated ✓ Rate: 20gtts/min ✓ Serve as vehicle for active drugs – need ✓ Examples: Tolu Balsam, Simple syrup ng preservative if it act as a vehicle 4. Addition of sucrose to a medicated liquid 2. Medicated Syrup ✓ simple admixture of sugar to a prepared ✓ Aqueous solution of sucrose that contains liquids like fluidextract or a tincture pharmaceutically active ingredients and ✓ Tincture – solution with an alcohol based has a therapeutic effect ✓ the syrup prepared through this is not self ✓ Examples: Ferrous sulfate, Ipepac preserving ✓ Example: Senna Syrup 3. Flavored Syrup ✓ Contains aromatic and pleasantly flavored substance and is intended as a vehicle or flavor for prescription ✓ It does not contain an active ingredient ✓ Glycyrrhiza to mask bitter taste of alkaloids

Place the moistened cotton into the neck of less than 1.33 and the concentration the percolator to control the flow rate. Once should be 85% w/v or 65% w/w 20 gtts/min flow rate – clip the rubber ✓ 60 - 80% concentration makes the syrup tubing self preserving 4. Place the sucrose ✓ 60% concentration prone to microbial 5. Place the circular filter paper above the growth sucrose and place the marbles on top of ✓ 85% concentration can crystallize the the filter paper. sucrose present 6.
