Effects of temperature, solution composition, and type of container on the stability and absorption of carmustine.

The stability and absorption of carmustine were studied comparatively in glass flasks and Stedim 6 bags. Stedim 6 is a new, multilayer, polyethylene-lined film. When stored at room temperature (22 degrees C +/- 2 degrees C) in the dark, carmustine decomposed in 5% dextrose solution and more so in 0.9% sodium chloride solution. When stored at 4 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C, the losses were identical in the glass flasks and Stedim 6 bags (about 11% after 72 hours). As long as they are kept in the dark at 4 degrees C, carmustine admixtures can be prepared up to 48 hours before administration, in either dextrose or sodium chloride isotonic solutions, and stored in either glass flasks or Stedim 6 bags.

Comparative sorption of clomipramine, viloxazine, and maprotiline hydrochlorides in polyvinylchloride bags and glass vials.

The sorption of clomipramine, viloxazine, and maprotiline hydrochlorides was studied comparatively in polyvinylchloride (PVC) bags and glass flasks for up to 72 hours. When stored in glass flasks, no decrease in concentration was observed for any of the three drugs, either in dextrose or sodium chloride isotonic solution. When stored in PVC bags, a slight loss (about 7% within 72 hours), was noted for clomipramine hydrochloride in both isotonic solutions, but not for the other two drugs.
