The liquid medium used is D-sorbitol. It has excellent stability enhancing properties and a very pleasant taste, for adults, children, and animals of all kinds. Many confectioners use these sweeteners in their special dietary candies and foods in place of sugar.
Storage is similar to the storage of any drug product.
Store material away from direct sunlight and keep bottle closed when not in use. Store at room temperature. Do not store cold, but should material come out of solution due to excess cold storage, thaw at room temperature to re-dissolve. D-sorbitol is a syrupy material that will seize the cap if allowed to harden within the cap. By varying the volume ingested, individuals may obtain any dose desired.
