Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. For a 5 mg vial add 2 mL BW for a 2,500 µg/mL solution.
Storage
Lyophilised: store at -20°C, stable for 24+ months. Reconstituted: refrigerate at 2–8°C, use within 30 days.
Notes
Stable in gastric acid — oral bioavailability is plausible. Acetate and free acid forms both available; acetate is predominant in published literature.
