Stability and Delivery of Vancomycin Hydrochloride When Admixed in a Total Parenteral Nutrition Solution

Abstract
Vancomycin hydrochloride, 400 mg/liter was mixed in six standard pediatric parenteral nutrition solutions with and without heparin added. The solutions were stored over a period of 8 days (192 hr) under refrigeration and at room temperature. Aliquots from all six solutions were assayed in duplicate for vancomycin at time 0, 24, 96, and 192 hr. All samples were run through an Ivex 0.22-micron filter, observed for physical incompatibilities, and frozen at —70°C until assay.
