Abstract: Pre-filled syringes, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits and methods relating to same allow for emergency administration of one or more drugs from prefilled glass syringes to a patient via a needleless connector. In preferred embodiments, the prefilled glass syringe has a drug volume of at least 5 mL, has a Luer-lock, and has a syringe tip with an internal channel that has a diameter of about 1.7 mm. Such syringes advantageously allow storage of emergency drugs without leaching of plastic materials and degradation, and substantially improve the safety profile where the syringe is attached to an IV line via a needleless connector.

Abstract: Accidental formaldehyde adduct formation of catecholamines in a catecholamine-containing formulation in a polymeric container is significantly reduced where a metal-based compound is used as an oxygen scavenger located between the polymeric container and a compromised secondary container that encloses the polymeric container.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for an injectable liquid formulation for reducing consumption or need of a postoperative analgesic compound by a patient are presented. The pharmaceutical formulation can contain a non-opioid analgesic and a gabapentinoid, and can be administered prior to surgery to reduce postoperative pain.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter is directed to compositions and methods for ready-to-inject norepinephrine compositions with improved stability. Most preferably, compositions presented herein are substantially antioxidant free and exhibit less than 10% isomerization of R-norepinephrine and exhibit less than 5% degradation of total norepinephrine.

Abstract: Fixed-dose combination drugs comprising an NSAID as a first drug component and a GABA-type calcium channel blocker as a second drug component are contemplated. Further contemplated aspects also include methods of administration of combination drugs and drugs contained herein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are storage-stable ephedrine single-phase solution compositions, comprising 4 mg/mL to 6 mg/mL of ephedrine, a pH adjuster comprising acetic acid, and water, wherein the composition has a pH between 4.5 and 5.0; and wherein the pH drift of the composition is less than 0.5 after storage over at least two months at 25° C. and 60% relative humidity. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter provides ready-to-administer, preferably anti-oxidant free, epinephrine compositions with improved stability, and methods for preparing the same. Contemplated compositions can be packaged using blow-fill-seal technology or packaged into flexible IV bags and maintain degradation of the epinephrine at a level of less than 5 wt % when stored over at least one months at between 2-40° C.
