Embodiment 1
[0104] Example 1. Ready-to-use ephedrine sulfate composition.
[0105] The ready-to-use injectable composition of ephedrine sulfate is to pass ephedrine sulfate USP / EP powder (Lot # 18130597, Siegfried PharmaChemikalien, Minden Germany), sodium chloride USP / EP (Lot # 18804697, Merck & Co., Kenilworth, NJ) and water for injection were prepared in a 200L stainless steel vessel combined in the amounts shown in Table 1 below.
[0106] Table 1.
[0107] components Pharmacopoeia designation Amount per 10cc vial ephedrine sulfate USP / EP 50mg Sodium chloride USP / EP 90mg Water for Injection USP / EP Appropriate amount to 10mL
[0108] Sampling of two 20 mL vials of the mixed solution at this stage indicated that ephedrine sulfate was present in solution at 100.2%-102.2% of the expected 50 mg / mL amount. Bioburden testing of 200 mL of the mixed solution at this stage also showed acceptable levels of bioconstituents (0-0.1 CFU / mL).

Embodiment 2
[0119] Example 2. Real-time stability of ready-to-use ephedrine sulfate compositions.
[0120]Prepared in each of 510 10-mL Type I flint glass vials (Gerresheimer / Bormioli) in a production facility employing standard production equipment, processes, personnel, and procedures consistent with the method disclosed in Example 1 10-mL ephedrine sulfate injection batches at 5 mg / mL were closed with 20 mm chlorobutyl fluoride-coated stoppers (West) and sealed with 20 mm flip-over aluminum crimp seals (Capsult). Ephedrine sulfate API was from Siegfried PharmaChemikalien Minden GmbH (Germany).
[0121] Vials were stored for 24 months in a controlled access, safety cabinet or safe room at 25+ / −2°C and 60+ / −5% relative humidity (RH) and removed for testing only. Some vials are stored upright, while others are stored upside down (eg, liquid in contact with vial closure). Samples are identified and records are kept in the Stability Study Log.

Embodiment 3
[0199] Example 3. Accelerated stability study of ready-to-use ephedrine sulfate compositions.
[0200] Prepared in each of 510 10-mL Type I flint glass vials (Gerresheimer / Bormioli) in a production facility employing standard production equipment, processes, personnel, and procedures consistent with the method disclosed in Example 1 10-mL ephedrine sulfate injection batches at 5 mg / mL were closed with 20 mm chlorobutyl fluoride-coated stoppers (West) and sealed with 20 mm flip-over aluminum crimp seals (Capsult). Ephedrine sulfate API was from Siegfried PharmaChemikalien Minden GmbH (Germany).
[0201] Vials were stored for 6 months in a controlled access, secure stable room at 40+ / -2°C and 75+ / -5% relative humidity (RH) and removed for testing only. Some vials are stored upright, while others are stored upside down (eg, liquid in contact with vial closure). Samples are identified and records are kept in the Stability Study Log.
