Fluconazole Injection, USP, the first of a new subclass of synthetic triazole antifungal agents, is available as a sterile solution for intravenous use in glass and 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 Injection, USP is an iso-osmotic, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution of Fluconazole, USP in a sodium chloride or dextrose diluent. Each mL contains 2 mg of Fluconazole, USP and 9 mg of Sodium Chloride, USP or 56 mg of Dextrose, hydrous. The pH ranges from 4.0 to 8.0 in the sodium chloride diluent and from 3.5 to 6.5 in the dextrose diluent. Injection volume of 100 mL is packaged in glass and in plastic containers. Injection volume of 200 mL is packed in plastic containers. The plastic container is fabricated from polypropylene. The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., cis-13-docosenoicamide (Erucamide), up to 32 mcg/mL. The Erucamide is an authorized additive listed in the 21 CFR 175.105 "Indirect Food Additives". However, the suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers. Chemical Structure
