In stockOndansetron injection, the generic for Zofran injection, is 2 mg/mL. The workhorse clinic package is a 2 mL single-dose vial (4 mg), sold in cartons of 25, labeled for intravenous or intramuscular use. In Apotex's labeling, the vials store anywhere from 2°C to 30°C and need to be protected from light (FDA label via FDALabel).
It's one of the easiest injectables to stock. Here are the few things worth checking anyway.
From the Apotex labeling (FDA label):
| Strength | Package | NDC |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mg/mL | 2 mL single-dose vial | 60505-6130-0 |
| 2 mg/mL | 2 mL single-dose vials, carton of 25 | 60505-6130-5 |
Other manufacturers also sell multiple-dose vials, with their own NDCs and their own ingredient lists. If you're comparing, check whether a product is single-dose or multiple-dose before you compare prices. Our single-dose vs. multiple-dose vials guide explains why it matters.
The label says: "Store vials between 2° and 30°C (36° and 86°F). Protect from light" (FDA label).
That's a wide range, which makes life easy. But "protect from light" still means keeping vials in the carton, not loose in a drawer under the procedure-room lights.
Purchasing doesn't administer it, but you should know what clinicians are weighing when they ask for it. The label's warnings section covers (FDA label):
A 2 mL single-dose vial is one patient, one injection. CDC says never to use single-dose vials for more than one patient and not to save leftovers, "even on the same patient" (CDC). If your clinicians regularly use part of a vial, that's a product-selection conversation, not a reason to stretch vials.
