Stability study of docetaxel solution (0.9%, saline) using Non-PVC and PVC tubes for intravenous administration

چکیده
BACKGROUND Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) are added to poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) infusion tubes as a plasticizer to ensure tube flexibility. In addition to previously reported disadvantages of DEHP, released DEHP molecules from PVC tubes can easily interact with surfactants in anticancer drug solutions (i.e., polysorbate 80 for Taxotere®-Inj) and reduce the solubility of docetaxel in aqueous solution during anticancer drug administration. RESULTS In this study, we investigated the in vitro stability of docetaxel in a 0.9% saline solution under an intravenous administration condition using a PVC tube (high DEHP content) and non-PVC infused tube. CONCLUSION The docetaxel solution circulating through the non-PVC tube had better solution stability than through the PVC tube(high DEHP content).

متن کاملThe effect of microwave heating on the acidity of 0.9% saline in 1 litre and 100 mL polyvinyl chloride packaging.
OBJECTIVE Microwave warming of intravenous crystalloid solutions is an accepted practice in operating suites and emergency departments. These intravenous solutions are stored in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are known to be acidic. Some of this acidity may be from PVC packaging. We asked if microwave heating affected the acidity of 0.9% saline solution in 1 litre and 100 mL PVC bags. METHODS S...

Levetiracetam is a commonly used antiepileptic medication for tumor-related epilepsy. However, the 100 mL intravenous (IV) infusion volume can be burdensome to imminently dying hospice patients. A reduced infusion volume would improve patient tolerability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of 1000 mg/25 mL (40 mg/mL) levetiracetam IV solution in sodium chloride 0.9%. We pr...
