Glyceryl trinitrate cannot be stored in PVC container. Why:
a. Glyceryl will be absorbed in PVC and affect its stability
b. The pH of PVC will change through time resulting it ineffectiveness of glyceryl
c. Pvc containers cause chemical interaction & incrase the microbial growth
The pH of PVC will change through time resulting it ineffectiveness of glyceryl
Glyceryl Trinitrate is not compatible with polyvinylchloride (PVC) and severe losses
of glyceryl trinitrate (up to 50%) may occur if polyvinylchloride is used, resulting in
a reduction of delivered dose and efficacy. Contact of the solution with
polyvinylchloride bags should be avoided.
The product is compatible with glass infusion sets and with rigid infusion packs
