Abstract: This invention relates to a dilute, ready-to-use solution of phenylephrine hydrochloride having improved stability and utility. In a particular embodiment, the formulation consists of an injectable form of phenylephrine hydrochloride with edetate disodium chelating agent in place of any sodium metabisulfite antioxidants to improve the solution's ability to remain stable and active in a dilute state after prolonged storage. This invention also relates to a form for injection of the solution that includes packaging the solution in a single-use container, as well as a form for containing the ready-to-use solution in a sterile, sealed container. Lastly this invention relates to methods of making the injectable solution for use in a single-use container, as well as for containment in a sterile, sealed container.
