Study on the Stability of Injectable Pantoprazole Sodium / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the stability of injectable pantoprazole sodium in 4 kinds of infusions.METHODS: A HPLC method was adopted in this determination, the content change of injectable pantoprazole sodium was determined within 4 hours' mixing with 4 kinds of infusions and its change of color was observed; meanwhile the effects of pH value, potassium,magnesium,calcium ions on the stability of injectable pantoprazole sodium were investigated.RESULTS:No obvious changes were noted in terms of contents, appearances, pH value, UV - absorption maximum wavelength for the injectable pantoprazole sodium solution within 4 hours either in 4 kinds of common infusions or in potassium,magnesium,calcium ions water solutions.It was extremely unstable when pH value of pantoprazole sodium solution was lower than 7.0;when its pH value was 7.0, its color became yellowish yet without obvious loss of content; it is stable within 4h when its pH value was above 8.0.CONCLUSIONS:Injectable pantoprazole sodium remains stable within 4 hours either in 4 kinds of common infusions or in potassium, magnesium, calcium ions water solutions, the pH value has a great influence on the stability of pantoprazole sodium solution.
