Shelf lives of aseptically prepared medicines - stability of hydrocortisone sodium succinate in PVC and non-PVC bags and in polypropylene syringes

Shelf lives were calculated using the maximum rate method. HSS at a concentration of 1 mg/ml in PVC bags was stable for up to 41 days at 7 °C, 8 days at 25 °C and 7 days at RTL. It was stable in non-PVC bags for up to 48, 8 and 6 days, respectively. HSS in polypropylene syringes at a strength of 50 mg/ml was stable for up to 81 days at 5 °C and 6 days at 25 °C.
