Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
No patient samples were available for investigation.A penecillin g interference is unlikely as 100 ug/ml with 75 ng/ml nordiazepam showed no interference.Interference with oxytocin was tested at 100 g/ml and in the presence of 75 ng/ml nordiazepam.Both approaches were completely inconspicuous.Typical injectable solutions are prepared with approximately 20 g/ml leading to 20 g/ml concentrations in the circulation and consequently in the urine.The investigation could not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
