Case Study Four Case Study Assessing Dose Accuracy and Safety and Label Clarity The Pharmacy Department of Miracle Hospital has ordered premixed solutions of cyclophosphamide 200 mg per 500 mL of NaCl 0.9%w/v injection from a specialty pharmacy compounding various parenteral products. The commercial 500 mL NS solution PVC bag has an overfill. The specialty pharmacy prepared the cyclophosphamide admixture by adding 10 mL of a reconstituted solution of 20 mg/mL cyclophosphamide to the 500 mL of NaCl 0.9%w/v PVC bag and labelled the IV admixture as 200 mg of cyclophosphamide per 500 mL. What is the concentration per millilitre of the cyclophosphamide admixture? (Napra 3.1) What volume of this admixture would you draw-up in a syringe to deliver a 40 mg dose? (Napra 3.1) What potential error could result if the premixed cytotoxic admixture is used?
