OBJECTIVE: To investigate the stability of Vidarabine monophosphate for injection combined with Aciclovir injection. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The content variations of two drugs in mixture were determined within 8 h at 5 ℃,25 ℃,35 ℃ under dark and light. The changes in appearance, property, pH value and insoluble particles (within 24 h) were investigated before and after compatibility. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in appearance and pH value at 5 ℃,25 ℃,35 ℃ under dark, and insoluble particles were in line with Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition),and the relative content of vidarabine monophosphate and aciclovir were above 99% (compared with 0 h) within 8 h. Under the light conditions, as the temperature raised and the extension of storage time, the content of vidarabine monophosphate did not significantly decrease, but that of aciclovir had declined significantly(4 h and after 4 h), while pH value also had a certain degree of rise; the insoluble particles had no obvious change. CONCLUSIONS: The mixture of vidarabine monophosphate and aciclovir in 0.9% Sodium chloride injections is stable under dark conditions within 8 h; it is suggested that the mixture should be used up within 4 h after mixing and protect from light to guarantee the safety of drug use in the clinic.
