Drug Contamination of Mortars and Pestles
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1978Evidence is presented suggesting that potent water-insoluble antipentylenetetrazol agents triturated in porcelain mortars and pestles are not removed from this mixing device by the usual laboratory washing procedure. Moreover, amounts sufficient to contaminate the next substance triturated in this vessel can be demonstrated by the subcutaneous ...

Illicit drugs, a novel group of environmental contaminants
Water Research, 2008It is now well established that residues from therapeutic drugs consumed by humans can end up, through the sewage system, in the surface water of populated areas. Given that the global production of major illicit drugs is comparable to that of widely used pharmaceuticals, we tested for the presence of drugs of abuse (cocaine, opioids, amphetamines and ...

Bacterial Contamination in Some Nonsterile Antibiotic Drugs
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1968Methods have been developed for the determination of microbial contamination in some nonsterile antibiotic preparations. Microorganism counts have been performed on both antibacterial and antifungal antibiotic powders. The highest counts were found in samples from the antifungal antibiotic.

Drug Contamination from Opening Glass Ampules
Anesthesiology, 1991Recently there have been several reports of postoperative sepsis due to the intravenous injection of contaminated solutions of propofol (Diprivan). The mechanism by which this contamination occurred has not been identified. This study sought to determine whether bacterial contamination of the contents of glass ampules can be decreased by swabbing the ...
