The chemical stability of Heptaminol base in four different suppository bases was investigated in absence and presence of several stabilizers. The stability was found decreasing in the order of: Glycerogelatin, Cacao-Butter, Witepsol-E-75, and then Polyethylene-Glycols. Butylated hydroxyanisol (BHA) was the best stabilizer in the two fatty-based formulae, while tocopherol succinate was the worst. In the water-soluble bases, sodium thiosulphate was the best stabilizer, while the mixture of sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (SFS) with sodium edentate was the worst.
