title: Stability of foscarnet sodium in 5% dextrose and 0.9% sodium chloride injections.
abstract: The stability of foscarnet sodium injection in 5% dextrose and 0.9% sodium chloride injections was determined using a stability-indicating assay reported in the literature. The solutions were stable for at least 35 days when stored at 25 degrees or 5 degrees C. They remained clear throughout the study and pH values did not change. The solutions were stored in plastic bags as used by patients at home.
