Publication number: 20150005376Abstract: A concentrate esmolol formulation is provided that is safer than current concentrate (e.g., 250 mg/ml) esmolol compositions. The concentrate esmolol formulation can include from about 40-60 mg/ml of esmolol hydrochloride. The concentrate esmolol composition allows a practitioner the flexibility of choosing a bolus volume for direct injection to a patient or, optionally, to use the composition to make a customized, diluted composition of esmolol. Methods of the present invention provide for the reduction of potential adverse health consequences resulting in the improper dosing of prior art concentrate compositions of esmolol. Also, a medical product is provided that includes a concentrate esmolol housed in a container, and a package housing the container and instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Applicants: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC., BAXTER HEALTHCARE SAInventors: Deepak Tiwari, George Owoo, Rekha Nayak, Kenneth E.

Publication number: 20080292558Abstract: A concentrated esmolol formulation is provided that is distinguishable from a diluted form of the concentrated esmolol formulation. In one embodiment, the concentrated esmolol formulation allows identification of the concentrate even after transfer of the concentrate out of a labeled primary container. The concentrated esmolol formulation can include from about 25 to about 1000 mg/ml of esmolol hydrochloride, a buffering agent and a color additive. Any number of color additives may be included such as indocyanine green, phenopheylene, hemoglobin, cyanocobalamine, patent blue, and indigo carmine vitamin B2 and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. The amount included in the formulation is highly dependent on the color additive selected. The color additive should be included in an amount sufficient to easily distinguish the concentrated esmolol formulation from at least about a 1:4 dilution of the concentrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2007Publication date: November 27, 2008Inventors: Deepak Tiwari, George Owoo, Rekha Nayak, Kenneth E.
