Stability of ceftriaxone disodium in Biotrakson and Tartriakson.
The influence of temperature and relative air humidity on the stability of ceftriaxone disodium (CTN) in Biotrakson and Tartriakson was investigated. At RH = 0%, the degradation of ceftriaxone was the first-order reaction, while at RH from 50.9% to 76.4% it was an autocatalytic first-order reaction relative to the substrate concentration. The influence of temperature on the stability of CTN was described by the following equations in the case of Biotrakson: RH =0% ln k = (-23488 +/- 7320) x 1/T+ 45.1; RH = 76.4% ln k = (-9492 +/- 1128) x 1/F + 16.1, and for Tartriakson: RH = 0% ln k = (-23491 +/- 7370) x 1/T + 42.4; RH = 76.4% ln k = (-10397 +/- 3034) x 1/T + 18.8. The influence of humidity on the stability of Biotrakson was described by the following equation: ln k = (0.0823 +/- 0.0272) x RH% -17.0 and for Tartriakson ln k = (0.0895 +/- 0.0246) x RH% -17.6.
