Description
KONVOMEP (omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate for oral suspension) is a combination of omeprazole, a PPI, and sodium bicarbonate, an antacid. Omeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole, 5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1 H -benzimidazole, a racemic mixture of two enantiomers that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its empirical formula is C 17 H 19 N 3 O 3 S, with a molecular weight of 345.42.
The structural formula is: Omeprazole is a white to off-white crystalline powder which melts with decomposition at about 155°C. It is a weak base, freely soluble in ethanol and methanol, slightly soluble in acetone and isopropanol and very slightly soluble in water. The stability of omeprazole is a function of pH; it is rapidly degraded in acid media but has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions. Sodium bicarbonate raises the gastric pH and protects the omeprazole from acid degradation. Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder. It is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. One gram of sodium bicarbonate dissolves in 12 mL of water at 25ºC. The pH of a freshly prepared 0.1 molar aqueous solution is 8.3 at 25ºC. Aqueous solutions slowly convert to sodium carbonate through loss of carbon dioxide. The molecular formula is NaHCO 3 and the molecular weight is 84.01.
The structural formula is: KONVOMEP is supplied as a kit. Each kit is comprised of 1 bottle of pre‑weighed omeprazole powder and 1 bottle of pre‑measured strawberry‑flavored diluent to be reconstituted for oral administration. The strawberry‑flavored diluent contains sodium bicarbonate and the following inactive ingredients: benzyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, FD&C Red No. 40, poloxamer 188, purified water, simethicone emulsion, sodium citrate (dihydrate), sorbitol solution, strawberry flavor (natural and artificial flavors, propylene glycol, and glycerin), and sucralose. After reconstitution each mL contains 2 mg omeprazole and 84 mg sodium bicarbonate. Omeprazole Structure Sodium Bicarbonate Structure
