Stability Evaluation of Methylparaben and Propylparaben in their Solution Aqua Conservans Using HPLC

HPLC was used to determine the content of methylparaben (MP), propylparaben (PP) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HYB) as their decomposition product in the water solution Aqua Conservans (AQCO) in accordance with the Czech Pharmacopoeia and the Slovak Pharmaceutical Codex (0.067 % MP and 0.033 % PP). Based on the results of the analyses of 10 samples of AQCO from 8 pharmacies, 4-42 months after their preparation, an expiration period of 3 years was proposed for AQCO
