However, an unidentified substance appeared in 7 Stability weeks, and 22% loss of floxuridine occurred by 8 weeks.1903 Intact vials of floxuridine should be stored at 20 to 25°C.3070 The Floxuridine (Roche) at concentrations ranging from about reconstituted solution in vials should be stored under refrigera- 2.5 to 12 mg/mL with heparin sodium 200 units/mL in bacte- tion at 2 to 8°C for no longer than 2 weeks.3070 riostatic sodium chloride 0.9% was evaluated for stability in an The pH of optimum stability is 4 to 7.
