Popis: Bacterial respiratory tract infections (e.g., in patients with cystic fibrosis) may be treated with the intravenous infusion of a piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) solution through an elastomeric device. In the present work, we combined a 24-h drug stability study with an assessment of the drug solution flow rate during an in vitro simulated infusion. Experiments were performed in triplicate with two excipient-free generic P/T solutions and an excipient-containing proprietary P/T solution in saline (all 50/6.25 mg/mL) released from an elastomeric infusion device at 32 °C. The P/T solutions’ stability was assessed by an HPLC-UV assay, pH and osmolality measurements, a visual assessment, and particle counting. Before these analyses, a forced degradation study was performed. To assess the flow rate, a precision scale was used to weigh the solution collected at the infusion line outlet. The stability criteria were
