The Stability and Compatibility of Clindamycin Phosphate and Gentamicin Sulfate Alone and in Combination in Peritoneal Dialysis Solution

Abstract

The stability and compatibility of clindamycin phosphate and gentamicin sulfate alone and in combination in peritoneal dialysis solution was studied. Peritoneal dialysis solutions (Dianeal PD-2, Travenol) were prepared in triplicate containing either clindamycin 200 mcg/mL, gentamicin 10 mcg/mL, or a combination of the two. Drug concentrations were determined at intervals over a 96-h period. At each time, solutions were observed for visual incompatibility.

No significant changes in drug concentrations or visual characteristics were noted at the times and temperatures tested. We conclude that clindamycin phosphate and gentamicin sulfate are stable and compatible alone and in combination in the peritoneal dialysis solution tested.
