how is etoposide supplied
Etoposide is relatively insoluble in water and ether, but is very soluble in methanol and chloroform. It is soluble in mixtures of organic solvents and is supplied as such by the manufacturer. Etoposide is unstable in D 5 W solution. Sodium chloride is recommended for dilution, which increases stability of the drug. The stability of etoposide in solution is dependent on the dilution factor.
