Общее описание

Quinidinium gluconate(Duraquin, Quinaglute) occurs as an odorless, very bitter,white powder. In contrast with the sulfate salt, it is freelysoluble in water. This is important because there are emergencieswhen the condition of the patient and the need for arapid response make the oral route of administration inappropriate.The high water solubility of the gluconate saltalong with a low irritant potential makes it valuable when aninjectable form is needed in these emergencies. Quinidinegluconate forms a stable aqueous solution. When used for injection, it usually contains 80 mg/mL, equivalent to 50 mgof quinidine or 60 mg of quinidine sulfate.
