Now available from STAT!Ref is ASHP’s sixth edition of Extended Stability for Parenteral Drugs, by Caryn Dellamorte Bing, RPh, MS, FASHP and Anna Nowobilski-Vasilios, Pharm.D. MBA, FASHP, BCNSP. This title covers all aspects of determining stability, including the changing elastomeric landscape and the ongoing variability in stability data.
Extended Stability for Parenteral Drugs provides the support you need to safely extend dating of parenteral drugs beyond the usual 24-hour limit—minimizing waste, lowering medication costs, and enabling optimal patient administration schedules at alternate infusion sites.
What’s New in the 6th Edition:
- Nearly all 165 stability monographs completely updated. Including 11 new stability monographs
- Updated chapters on applying stability data in patient care and parenteral nutrition
- Previously unpublished data for specific types of infusion devices and containers
- Direct communications from drug and device manufacturers, and a focused review of previously published data from practitioners
With its expanded coverage, many updates, and new information, Extended Stability provides even more support, making it a “must have” for any practice in which pharmaceutical solutions are prepared and administered.
This title is targeted at pharmacists working in home infusion and other alternate care pharmacy practices. Pharmacists in these practice settings consistently need to review information for acceptable concentrations and compatible diluents after further dilution as well as for stability data greater than 24 hours. Both authors are credible authorities with a wealth of experience related to working in alternate care pharmacy settings.
