[The stability of norepinephrine hydrogen tartrate, epinephrine hydrogen tartrate and isoprenaline sulfate. 29. The stability of drugs and preparations].

Stability testing of derivatives of brenzcatechine [norepinephrine hydrogentartrate (1), epinephrine hydrogentartrate (2), isoprenaline sulfate (3)] was carried out by stress investigation storing them at different temperatures. Substances of different charges which had been stored under normal conditions were analyzed. After a period of induction all three substances had been decomposed with a higher velocity. The order of kinetic process could not be determined. The storage life time was calculated by the aid of nonlinear regression. Time limit for storage of 5 years for 1 and 2 were confirmed. We suggest to extend it for 3 to 10 years.
