“Our results show that this three-drug mixture is chemically stable for up to 24 hours after mixing, with a pharmacokinetic simulation illustrating safe, clinically useful predicted plasma concentrations when using the described admixture” Carpenter et al (2022).
IV Summit 22 from IVTEAM – Last remaining seats
“The IV Summit 22 from IVTEAM is a free event. However, our East London venue is limited to 120 seats. We recommend you register soon as only a few seats remain for this exciting free event” IVTEAM (2022).
