Fluconazole in Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, the first of a new subclass of synthetic triazole antifungal agents, is available as a sterile solution for intravenous use in plastic containers. Fluconazole is designated chemically as 2,4-difluoro-α,α 1 -bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl) benzyl alcohol with an empirical formula of C 13 H 12 F 2 N 6 O and molecular weight of 306.3. The structural formula is: Fluconazole is a white crystalline solid which is slightly soluble in water and saline. Fluconazole in Sodium Chloride Injection, USP is an iso-osmotic, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution of fluconazole in a sodium chloride diluent. Each mL contains 2 mg of fluconazole and 9 mg of sodium chloride. The pH ranges from 4.0 to 8.0. Injection volumes of 100 mL and 200 mL are packaged in plastic containers. The flexible bag container is fabricated from a specially formulated non-plasticized thermoplastic co-polyolefin. The amount of water that can permeate from the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. The suitability of the container material has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers. Structural Formula
