For Solution (3), the content of Impurity D in this BPCRS is only 0.3% of the solution and not 0.5% as
stated in the monograph. This is due to a lower amount of Impurity D in this BPCRS. This should be
corrected for when calculating the content of Impurity D in solution (1).

For additional information on BPCRS please visit the British Pharmacopoeia website.
