Sterilisation of Colchicine Injection

Abstract
Colchicine solutions for injection can be sterilised by heating at 115° for 30 min., or by heating at 98 to 100° for 30 min. in the presence of phenylmercuric nitrate 0·002 per cent, or by filtration. Solutions in multi-dose containers may be prepared using phenol 0·5 per cent, phenyhnercuric nitrate 0·001 per cent, or benzyl alcohol 1 per cent as bactericide. Sterilised solutions are stable for at least six months if protected from light.
