Stability of N-Acetylcysteine 60 mg/mL in Extemporaneously Compounded Injectable Solutions

Abstract: Background: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) administered by the IV route is the current treatment of choice for acetaminophen overdose. However, the protocol approved by health authorities in most countries has a complex dosing regimen, which leads to dosage errors in one-third of cases. Therefore, the Canadian Antidote Guide in Acute Care Toxicology and individual poison centres have begun to recommend a simplified regimen using continuous IV infusion. Unfortunately, no study has demonstrated the stability of IV solut… Show more

“…In our study, the parenteral formulation of NAC made from commercial parenteral NAC had a final edetate disodium content of 250 µg·mL −1 , which could explain the differences. In another study, the NAC content of 60 mg·mL −1 in D5W, NS, or 0.45% sodium chloride was found to be greater than 90.0% of its initial value for 72 h at room temperature [ 6 ]. In this study, NAC content was not assessed after 72 h [ 6 ].…”

“…To use the stored solution for clinical applications, knowledge of storage stability and shelf life is important. [25] Literature documented stability studies of numerous compounds and drugs, including but not limited to human insulin, [26] Nacetylcysteine, [27,28] linezolid, [29] voriconazole, [30] dexmedetomidine, [31] and penicillin G. [32] To date, there are no reports investigating the storage stability of polysaccharide solutions designed for medical applications.…”
