Abstract

Objectives: To compare the compatibility and chemical stability of ondansetron hydrochloride/naloxone hydrochloride and metoclopramide hydrochloride/naloxone hydrochloride admixtures used in palliative care units at three different storage conditions (4ËšC, 22 ËšC and 37ËšC) for 192 hours.

Methods: A high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analytical method was established to investigate the chemical stability of the combinations.

Results: Metoclopramide hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride concentrations remain above 90% of their initial concentration under all storage conditions for 192 hours, while ondansetron hydrochloride remain stable at 4ËšC and 22ËšC but it losses up to 15.03% of its initial concentration when stored for 192 hours at 37 ËšC.

Conclusion: metoclopramide hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride admixture is more stable and preferred to ondansetron hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride admixture under all storage conditions.
