TY - JOUR T1 - Stability of heparin in dextrose infusions: correction JF - Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin JO - Drug Ther Bull SP - 24 LP - 24 DO - 10.1136/dtb.9.6.24 VL - 9 IS - 6 A2 - , Y1 - 1971/03/12 UR - http://dtb.bmj.com/content/9/6/24.abstract N2 - The article on ‘mixing drugs with i. v. infusions’ (July 3, 1970, p. 55) stated that heparin is unstable in acid solutions, for example dextrose. This was based on indirect evidence and theoretical considerations. However since the article appeared, unpublished bioassays have shown that heparin solutions diluted in dextrose retain full activity for at least 3 days at room temperature. ER -
