Calcium Levulinate Injection
» Calcium Levulinate Injection is a sterile solution of Calcium Levulinate in Water for Injection. It contains not less than 95.0 percent and not more than 105.0 percent of the labeled amount of C10H14CaO6·2H2O.
Packaging and storage—
Preserve in single-dose containers, preferably of Type I glass.
Labeling—
The label states the total osmolar concentration in mOsmol per L. Where the contents are less than 100 mL, or where the label states that the Injection is not for direct injection but is to be diluted before use, the label alternatively may state the total osmolar concentration in mOsmol per mL.
