INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE PEDIATRALABORATORIO DE FARMACOLOGAFRMACO: PIPERACILINA / TAZOBACTAN

Piperacilina-Tazobactam (PIP-TZ) es un frmaco compuesto por un antibitico betalactmico (PIP) y un inhibidor de betalactamasa (TZ) para tratamiento de infecciones graves producidas por grmenes Gram positivos, Gram negativos y anaerobios. Ejerce su actividad bactericida mediante la inhibicin de la sntesis de la pared celular bacteriana.El tazobactam, una sulfona cida triazolimetil penicilnica, es un inhibidor potente de muchas -lactamasas, incluyendo las enzimas mediadas por plasmidios y cromosomales que comnmente causan resistencia a las penicilinas y cefalosporinas, incluyendo las cefalosporinas de tercera generacin.

Cada gramo de piperacilina debe reconstituirse con al menos 5 ml de agua estril para inyeccin , cloruro sdico al 0,9 %, agua bacteriosttica para inyeccin o cloruro de sodio bacteriosttico 0,9 % (conservada con alcohol benclico o parabenos ) o dextrosa al 5 % y se agita bien hasta diluir .

pH :Viales : de 4.5 a 6.8Solucin premezclada congelada: de 5,5 a 6.Biodisponibilidad: 71 %

Administracin: debe administrarse por infusin intravenosa durante al menos 30 minutos despus de la dilucin con al menos 50 ml en un diluyente compatible. Tambin se puede infundir usando bombas de infusin ambulatorias Compatibilidad con antibiticos y otros frmacos: - Puede disminuir la concentracin plasmtica de aminoglucsidos. - Puede disminuir la aclaracin renal de Metotrexate (controlar nivles de MTx)- Anticoagulantes orales: Se puede producir un aumento del efecto anticoagulante, con un aumento del riesgo hemorrgico. Puede disminuir el efecto terapetico de la vacuna BCG, y la respuesta inmunolgica de la vacuna de fiebre tifoidea atenuada (Ty21a).

Estabilidad : Polvo liofilizado de color blanquecino en viales intactos que deben almacenarse a temperatura ambiente. Viales de una sola dosis de la solucin deben utilizarse inmediatamente despus de la reconstitucin. Cualquier porcin restante debe desecharse despus de 24 horas a temperatura ambiente o 48 horas bajo refrigeracin a 2 a 8 C.En las soluciones de infusin compatible, el frmaco es estable durante 24 horas a temperatura ambiente o una semana bajo refrigeracin. Vidrio y plstico (incluyendo jeringas, bolsas de solucin por va intravenosa, y tubera) no afectan estabilidad. Soluciones CongeladasLas inyecciones congeladas disponibles comercialmente se deben almacenar en 0 por debajo de -20 C . Descongelar a temperatura ambiente o bajo refrigeracin, pero no en un bao de agua caliente o por radiacin de microondas. Soluciones descongeladas no deben volver a congelarse. Despus de la descongelacin, las soluciones son estables durante 24 horas a temperatura ambiente o 14 das en refrigeracin.

For intravenous administration, reconstitute the 1-g vial with 10 mL of sterile water for injection, bacteriostatic water for injection, or sodium chloride 0.9% and shake well, yielding a 100-mg/mL concentration. Upon dissolution, immediately transfer the reconstituted solution to 50 mL of sodium chloride 0.9% for adults. For pediatric patients, the dose of reconstituted ertapenem should be transferred to a volume of sodium chloride 0.9% to yield a final concentration of 20 mg/mL or less.1(2/08) For intramuscular injection, reconstitute the 1-g vial with 3.2 mL of lidocaine hydrochloride 1% (without epinephrine) and shake well, yielding a 280-mg/mL concentration. Upon dissolution, administer within one hour. Do NOT administer the reconstituted intramuscular injection intravenously.1(2/08) pH7.5.1(2/08) Sodium ContentApproximately 137 mg or 6 mEq.1(2/08) AdministrationErtapenem sodium diluted in sodium chloride 0.9% may be administered by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes or by deep intramuscular injection into a large muscle mass such as the gluteal muscle or the lateral part of the thigh.1(2/08) StabilityIntact vials of ertapenem sodium should be stored at controlled room temperature not exceeding 25 C. The reconstituted drug solution for intravenous administration should be diluted immediately in sodium chloride 0.9%. Dextrose-containing solutions should NOT be used to dilute ertapenem.1(2/08) 2723 . The drug diluted for infusion may be stored and used within six hours at room temperature or may be stored for 24 hours under refrigeration and used within four hours after removal from refrigeration.

Additional Compatibility Information Peritoneal Dialysis SolutionsThe activity of vancomycin 15 mg/L was evaluated in peritoneal dialysis fluids containing dextrose 1.5 or 4.25% (Dianeal 137, Travenol). Storage at 25 C resulted in virtually no loss of antimicrobial activity in 24 hours.515 Vancomycin hydrochloride with aztreonam admixed in Dianeal 137 with dextrose 4.25% is stated to be stable for 24 hours at room temperature.1(10/08) Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 10 and 50 mg/L in peritoneal dialysis concentrate with dextrose 50% (McGaw) retained 93 to 100% of its initial activity after 24 hours of storage at room temperature.1044 The stability of vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 20 mg/L in peritoneal dialysis solutions (Dianeal 137 and PD2) with heparin sodium 500 units/L was evaluated. Approximately 95 12% activity remained after 24 hours at 25 C.1228 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 15 mg/L to 5.3 g/L in Dianeal with dextrose 2.5 or 4.25% was physically compatible with heparin sodium (Organon) 500 to 14,300 units/L for 24 hours at 25 C under fluorescent light. However, a white precipitate formed immediately in combinations of heparin sodium with vancomycin hydrochloride 6.9 to 14.3 g/L.1322 The retention of antimicrobial activity of vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 1 g/L alone and with each of the aminoglycosides gentamicin sulfate (SoloPak) 120 mg/L and tobramycin sulfate (Lilly) 120 mg/L in Dianeal PD-2 (Travenol) with dextrose 1.5% was evaluated. Little or no loss of any antibiotic occurred in eight hours at 37 C. Vancomycin hydrochloride alone retained activity for at least 48 hours at 4 and 25 C. In combination with gentamicin sulfate and tobramycin sulfate, antimicrobial activity of both vancomycin and the aminoglycosides was retained for up to 48 hours. However, refrigeration at 4 C was recommended for storage periods greater than 24 hours.1414 The stability of vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 25 mg/L in Dianeal 137 (Baxter) with dextrose 1.36 and 3.86%, while protected from direct sunlight, was evaluated. At both dextrose concentrations, less than 4% vancomycin hydrochloride was lost in 42 days at 4 C. At 20 C, a 5% or less loss occurred in 28 days. At 37 C, a 10% loss occurred in six to seven days.1654 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 1 mg/mL admixed with ceftazidime (Lilly) 0.5 mg/mL in Dianeal PD-2 (Baxter) with 1.5% and also 4.25% dextrose were evaluated for compatibility and stability. Samples were stored under fluorescent light at 4 and 24 C for 24 hours and at 37 C for 12 hours. No precipitation or other change was observed by visual inspection in any sample. No loss of either drug was found in the samples stored at 4 C and no loss of vancomycin hydrochloride and about 4 to 5% ceftazidime loss in the samples stored at 24 C in 24 hours. Vancomycin hydrochloride losses of 3% or less and ceftazidime loss of about 6% were found in the samples stored at 37 C for 12 hours. No difference in stability was found between samples at either dextrose concentration.2217 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lederle) 0.05 mg/mL in Dianeal PD-2 with dextrose 1.5% with or without heparin sodium 1 unit/mL in PVC bags was chemically stable for up to six days at 4 C (about 3 to 5% loss) and 25 C (up to 7% loss) and five days at body temperature of 37 C.866 The addition of ceftazidime (Glaxo) 0.1 mg/mL to this peritoneal dialysis solution demonstrated a somewhat reduced stability with the ceftazidime being the defining component. The ceftazidime was chemically stable for up to six days at 4 C (about 3% loss), three days at 25 C (about 9 to 10% loss), and 12 hours at body temperature of 37 C with the vancomycin exhibiting less loss throughout.866 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lederle) 25 mcg/mL in Delflex peritoneal dialysis solution bags with 2.5% dextrose (Fresenius) was stable with little loss occurring in 14 days refrigerated and at room temperature.2573 Gentamicin sulfate (American Pharmaceutical Partners) 8 mcg/mL with vancomycin hydrochloride (Lederle) 25 mcg/mL in Delflex peritoneal dialysis solution bags with 2.5% dextrose (Fresenius) was stable with little or no loss of either drug occurring in 14 days refrigerated and at room temperature.2573 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Abbott) 1 mg/mL in icodextrin 7.5% PD (Baxter) was tested for stability at 5, 24, and 37 C. The solutions remained clear and colorless. Little or no loss at 5 C and about 3% loss at 24 C after seven days of storage was found. At 37 C, about 6% loss occurred in 24 hours.2650 Heparin LocksVancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 25 mcg/mL and heparin sodium (Elkins-Sinn) 100 units/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride injection as a catheter flush solution was evaluated for stability when stored at 4 C for 14 days. The flush solution was visually clear, and the vancomycin activity and heparin activity were retained throughout the storage period. However, an additional 24 hours at 37 C to simulate use conditions resulted in losses of both agents ranging from 20 to 37%.1933 Vancomycin hydrochloride (Lilly) 25 mcg/mL and preservative-free heparin sodium (Elkins-Sinn) 100 units/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride in 2-mL glass vials for use as a central catheter flush solution were evaluated for compatibility and stability at 4 and 28 C. Visual inspection found no evidence of color change or particulate formation throughout the study. Heparin activity remained unchanged for 100 days. Acceptable vancomycin levels were maintained for 30 days at 28 C and for 63 days at 4 C. However, unacceptable losses occurred after those times. The activity of both drugs was unaffected by the presence of the other when compared to the activity of single drug controls.2279 Vancomycin hydrochloride 25 mcg/mL combined with heparin sodium (Hospira) 10 units/mL in sterile water for injection for use as a lock solution was found to be physically compatible. Little or no vancomycin loss occurred in 3 days at 4 C. However, losses of 8% occurred in 3 days at 27 C and 1 day at 40 C.2820 If ciprofloxacin (Sicor) 2 mg/mL was added to this flush solution, a white precipitate appeared within 1 day. Losses of both ciprofloxacin and vancomycin occurred as well.2820 Handbook on Injectable Drugs. Copyright, 1977-2014.

VoriconazoleAHFS Class: 8:14.08 - AzolesTradenames: VfendProductsVoriconazole is available as a lyophilized powder in single-use vials containing 200 mg with 3.2 g of sulfobutyl ether -cyclodextrin sodium and bearing a vacuum. Reconstitute with 19 mL of sterile water for injection and shake well to yield 20 mL of a voriconazole 10-mg/mL solution. Do not use the vial if a vacuum does not draw in the diluent for reconstitution.1(5/08) The reconstituted solution is a concentrate that must be diluted in a compatible solution to a concentration of 0.5 to 5 mg/mL before intravenous administration. The manufacturer recommends removing a volume equivalent to the volume of drug before addition to the bag.1(5/08) AdministrationVoriconazole is administered by intravenous infusion in a compatible infusion solution at a concentration between 0.5 and 5 mg/mL over one to two hours at a maximum rate of 3 mg/kg/hr.1(5/08) StabilityIntact vials should be stored at controlled room temperature. Voriconazole reconstituted as directed is chemically and physically stable for 24 hours under refrigeration. However, because no antimicrobial preservative is present, the manufacturer recommends use immediately after reconstitution. Voriconazole is intended for single use, and any remaining drug should be discarded.1(5/08) Compatibility Solution CompatibilityVoriconazole

Amphotericin BAHFS Class: 8:14.28 - PolyenesTradenames: FungizoneProductsAmphotericin B is available in vials containing 50 mg of drug with sodium desoxycholate 41 mg and sodium phosphates 20.2 mg. Reconstitute with 10 mL of sterile water for injection without preservatives and shake until a clear colloidal dispersion is obtained. The resultant concentration is 5 mg/mL of amphotericin B. Use only sterile water for injection without preservatives for reconstitution because other diluents, such as sodium chloride 0.9% or solutions containing a bacteriostatic agent such as benzyl alcohol, may result in the precipitation of the antibiotic. For infusion, amphotericin B must be further diluted with dextrose 5% with a pH above 4.2.1(4/07) 4 Although various lipid complex and liposomal products of amphotericin B exist, they are sufficiently different from conventional amphotericin B formulations that extrapolating information to or from the other forms would be inappropriate. pHThe pH of amphotericin B (Squibb) 100 mg/L in dextrose 5% has been reported as 5.7.149 OsmolalityThe osmolality of amphotericin B (Squibb) 0.1 mg/mL in dextrose 5% was determined to be 256 mOsm/kg.1375 AdministrationAmphotericin B is administered by slow intravenous infusion over approximately two to six hours. The recommended concentration of the infusion is 0.1 mg/mL.1(4/07) 4 The drug has also been given intra-articularly, intrathecally, intrapleurally, and by irrigation.4 CAUTION: Care should be taken to ensure that the correct drug product, dose, and administration procedure are used and that no confusion with other products occurs.StabilityStore intact vials at 2 to 8 C and protect from light.1(4/07) 4 The manufacturer indicates that a 5 to 10% potency loss occurs in one month at room temperature.1433 Amphotericin B reconstituted with sterile water for injection without preservatives and stored in the dark is stable for 24 hours at room temperature and for one week under refrigeration at 2 to 8 C.1(4/07) 4 108 One report indicates that aqueous solutions may be stable for over a week at both 5 and 28 C.352 Reconstituted amphotericin B may be added to dextrose 5% with a pH above 4.2. Buffers present in the formulation raise the pH of the admixture. If the dextrose 5% has a pH less than 4.2, additional buffer must be added.1(4/07) 4 One or 2 mL of a buffer solution composed of dibasic sodium phosphate anhydrous 1.59 g and monobasic sodium phosphate anhydrous 0.96 g in water for injection is brought to 100 mL. The buffer solution should be sterilized either by filtration or by autoclaving for 30 minutes at 121 C at 15 pounds pressure.1(4/07) Failure to sterilize this buffer solution coupled with prolonged storage at room temperature has resulted in severe infection.328 Amphotericin B was reported to precipitate when added to some evacuated containers due to a small residual amount of fluid that may have acetic acid and sodium acetate buffer or sodium chloride 0.9% solution. Only evacuated containers with residual sterile water should be used for preparing amphotericin B admixtures.1232 In an effort to reduce toxicity, amphotericin B has been admixed in Intralipid instead of the more usual dextrose 5%.1809 1810 1811 2178 However, amphotericin B 0.75 mg/kg/day administered using this approach in 250 mL of Intralipid 20% has been associated with acute pulmonary toxicities, including sudden onset of coughing, tachypnea, cyanosis, and deterioration of oxygen saturation following administration. The temporal relationship between the drug administration and respiratory symptoms suggested a causal relationship. Furthermore, no reduction in renal toxicity or other side effects was observed. It was concluded amphotericin B should not be administered in Intralipid.2177 At a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL in Intralipid 10 or 20%, amphotericin B precipitates immediately or almost immediately. The precipitate is not visible to the unaided eye because of the emulsion's dense opacity. Particle size evaluation found thousands of particles larger than 10 m per milliliter. In dextrose 5%, very few particles were larger than 10 m. Centrifuging the Intralipid admixtures resulted in rapid visualization of the precipitate as a mass at the bottom of the test tubes.1808 However, amphotericin B precipitation is observed in fat emulsion within two to four hours without centrifuging. In concentrations ranging from 90 mg to 2 g/L in Intralipid 20%, amphotericin B precipitate is easily seen as yellow particulate matter on the bottom of the lipid emulsion containers.1872 1988 Damage to the emulsion integrity with creaming has also been reported.1987 In other reports, the appearance of problems was observed in as little as 15 minutes, and actual amphotericin B precipitate formed within 20 minutes of mixing. Analysis of the precipitate confirmed its identity as amphotericin B. The authors hypothesized that amphotericin B precipitates as a consequence of the excipient desoxycholic acid, which is an anion, attracting oppositely charged choline groups from the egg yolk components of the fat emulsion. As a consequence, desoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine form a precipitate and insufficient surfactant remains to keep the amphotericin B dispersed.2204 2205 pH EffectsThe pH range for optimum clarity and stability is 6 to 7.148 At a pH of less than approximately 6, the colloidal dispersion may become turbid.40 148 Colloidal particles tend to coagulate rapidly at a pH of less than 5.4 Light EffectsAlthough the manufacturer recommends light protection for aqueous solutions of amphotericin B1(4/07) , several reports indicate that for short-term exposure of eight to 24 hours, little difference in potency is observed between light-protected and light-exposed solutions.150 335 353 Longer exposure periods150 or higher intensity light exposure2414 may result in unacceptable potency losses, however. Elastomeric Reservoir PumpsAmphotericin B (Lyphomed) 0.25 mg/mL in dextrose 5% was evaluated for binding potential to natural rubber elastomeric reservoirs (Baxter). No binding was found after storage for two weeks at 35 C with gentle agitation.2014 FiltrationVarious studies have assessed the effects of filtration on the amphotericin B colloidal dispersion with differing results. The use of a 0.22-m membrane filter was reported to be unacceptable with colloidal solutions adjusted to pH 4.7, 5.6, and 6.5. The concentration of amphotericin B in the filtrate decreased substantially after several hours. A 0.45-m filter was satisfactory for infusions with a pH of 6.5, but the results at pH 5.6 were inconclusive. At pH 5.6 and 6.5, 1- and 5-m filters both proved satisfactory in that they did not reduce the concentration of amphotericin B. For the turbid mixtures resulting at pH 4.7, however, all filters sharply reduced the concentration.148 A report tended to support this finding for the 0.22-m filter. At pH 5.7, fine particles of amphotericin B formed and were retained by the 0.22-m filter.149 No appreciable reduction in concentration with a 0.45-m filter was found; but with a 0.22-m filter, after one hour the concentration of amphotericin B delivered was about 30% of the initial concentration.152 When amphotericin B 50 mg/500 mL in dextrose 5% was filtered through a 0.22-m circular cellulose ester membrane (Swinnex) or a 0.22-m cylindrical cellulose ester filter (Ivex-2), the flow rate decreased dramatically after passage of as little as 30 mL. Flow ceased altogether after 100 to 200 mL. The last sample filtered contained no drug. With a 0.45-m circular cellulose ester membrane (Swinnex), no loss of activity was determined after filtration of 200 mL. However, the flow rate had decreased.598 On the other hand, no significant difference in the amount or concentration of amphotericin B in dextrose 5% with phosphate buffer was found after filtration with 0.22-, 0.45-, and 5-m filters.151 For amphotericin B infusions, only filters with a pore size not less than 1 m should be used for filtration.1(4/07) 4 148 This would allow a margin for error that would compensate for possible variations in particle size.148 Also, limiting the use of filtration to situations where it is believed to be necessary has been recommended.598 599 Compatibility Solution CompatibilityAmphotericin B

Interferon Alfa-2bAHFS Class: 10:00 - Antineoplastic AgentsTradenames: Intron AProductsInterferon alfa-2b is available as a dry powder in vials containing 10, 18, and 50 million International Units (I.U.) packaged with bacteriostatic water for injection containing benzyl alcohol 0.9% diluent. Only the 10-million I.U. vial is recommended for intralesional use. The 50-million I.U. vials are used in malignant melanoma and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma only.1(5/08) For intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intralesional use, reconstitute the appropriate-size vial contents with the bacteriostatic water for injection diluent using the requisite volume noted in Table 1. Direct the stream at the vial wall and not at the powder in the bottom of the vial. Swirl gently to dissolve the powder; do not shake.1(5/08) In addition to the drug, the reconstituted solutions also contain in each milliliter glycine 20 mg, sodium phosphate dibasic 2.3 mg, sodium phosphate monobasic 0.55 mg, and albumin human 1 mg.1(5/08) For intravenous infusion, reconstitute the appropriate-size vial contents with the diluent provided. Swirl gently to dissolve the powder; do not shake. Withdraw the appropriate dose and add it to 100 mL of sodium chloride 0.9%, ensuring that the final concentration is not less than 10 million I.U./100 mL.1(5/08) Table 1.

Interferon alfa-2b is also available for intramuscular or subcutaneous use as solutions in multidose vials, which contain 22.8 million I.U./3.8 mL (6 million I.U./mL), and 25 million I.U., which contain 32 million I.U./3.2 mL (10 million I.U./mL). Multidose injection pens are also available containing 3, 5, and 10 million I.U. per 0.2 mL injection with a total of 1.5 mL per pen for subcutaneous injection.1(5/08) Each milliliter of solution also contains sodium chloride 7.5 mg, sodium phosphate dibasic 1.8 mg, sodium phosphate monobasic 1.3 mg, edetate disodium 0.1 mg, polysorbate 80 0.1 mg, and metacresol 1.5 mg. The solution products are albumin-free.1(5/08) Vial size to be used and appropriate concentration are dependent on the intended use of the product. In addition to intramuscular and subcutaneous use, the 10-million I.U. vials are also for intralesional use. Interferon alfa-2b solution products are not recommended for intravenous administration in the United States labeling.1(5/08) In the Canadian labeling, intravenous infusion of the solution products is permitted with dilution in sodium chloride 0.9% immediately before administration to a concentration no lower than 0.3 million I.U./mL. These albumin-free dosage forms require this higher minimum concentration to avoid loss due to sorption to plastic bags.1(5/08) Specific ActivityApproximately 2 108 I.U./mg of protein.1(5/08) pHThe reconstituted powder for injection has a pH in the range of 6.9 to 7.5.4 TonicityReconstitution of the 10-million I.U. vial with 1 mL of water for injection results in an isotonic solution.1369 AdministrationThe administration of interferon alfa-2b is dependent on the intended use and specific dosage form. The dry powder products, reconstituted as directed, may be administered by intramuscular and subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion. The contents of the 10-million I.U. vial, reconstituted as directed, may also be given intralesionally. For intravenous infusions, interferon alfa-2b may be diluted further to a concentration of not less than 10 million I.U./100 mL of sodium chloride 0.9% for intravenous infusion over 20 minutes.1(5/08) The solution products are administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The 5-million I.U. and 10-million I.U. vials and the 25-million I.U. multidose vials may also be used for intralesional injection. The solution products are not for use in malignant melanoma or AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. In addition, the Canadian product labeling permits intravenous infusion in sodium chloride 0.9% at concentrations no lower than 0.3 million units/mL.1(5/08) StabilityInterferon alfa-2b dry powder in vials is a white to cream color.1(5/08) 4 It is not photosensitive.1369 The reconstituted solution is clear and colorless to light yellow. Intact vials should be stored under refrigeration at 2 to 8 C but are stable up to seven days at 45 C4 or 28 days at room temperature.1369 The reconstituted solution should be stored under refrigeration. In concentrations between 3 and 50 million I.U./mL, reconstituted solutions are stable for up to one month under refrigeration and up to two days at ambient temperatures up to 40 C.1(5/08) Interferon alfa-2b solution in vials is colorless. Intact vials of solution should be stored under refrigeration at 2 to 8 C. The solution products are stable for up to seven days at 35 C and up to 14 days at 30 C. Interferon alfa-2b in multidose pens is stable for up to two days at 30 C.1(5/08) Interferon alfa-2b (Schering) containing albumin human in the formulation reconstituted with the accompanying diluent and diluted further to 2 million I.U./mL with sterile water for injection was stored at 4 C for 21 days in polypropylene centrifuge tubes. Biological activity was retained throughout the study period.2022 In another study, the retention of bioactivity by albumin-free interferon alfa-2b 6 million units/mL stability was compared to samples of that product to which albumin human 1 mg/mL was added and also to the reconstituted product containing albumin human in the formulation. The solutions were packaged as 0.5 mL in polypropylene syringes and stored at 4 C for 42 days. In addition, the albumin-free product was diluted to 2 million units/mL with sterile water for injection and stored in a 60-mL polypropylene syringe under the same conditions. No substantial loss of biological activity was found in any of the samples.2188 Sodium chloride 0.9% is recommended for preparation of intravenous infusion admixtures.1(5/08) Interferon alfa-2b is stated to be compatible with sodium chloride 0.9%, Ringer's injection, and Ringer's injection lactated. It is stated to be incompatible with dextrose solutions.1369 pH EffectsReconstituted interferon alfa-2b is stable over a pH range of 6.5 to 84 , with greatest stability between pH 6.9 and 7.5.1369 Freezing SolutionsReconstituted interferon alfa-2b 10 million I.U./mL packaged in plastic syringes is stated to be stable for up to four weeks when frozen at -10 C or colder.4 Solutions frozen at -20 C are stated to be stable for 56 days including four freeze-thaw cycles. Frozen solutions stored at -80 C are stable for one year.1369 SyringesInterferon alfa-2b (Intron A, Kirby-Warwick) 3 million units was diluted in 6 mL of sterile water for injection and packaged in 10-mL polypropylene syringes. The samples were stored for 14 days under refrigeration and for 24 hours at 37 C. Analysis found changes indicating interconversion between interferon monomers and possibly oligomer formation. Dilution and packaging in polypropylene syringes was considered to be unsuitable.744 SorptionLike other interferons, interferon alfa-2b can bind to surfaces, including glass and plastics. Consequently, albumin human is incorporated into the dry powder dosage forms to minimize adsorption and permit the use of glass or plastic syringes for administration without substantial loss at concentrations not less than 0.1 million I.U./mL.1(5/08) 4 The solution dosage forms are albumin-free. Consequently, the Canadian product labeling recommends dilution of the solution products in sodium chloride 0.9% to a concentration not lower than 0.3 million I.U./mL to prevent losses.1(5/08) Handbook on Injectable Drugs.
