Elneopa NF No. 1 and No. 2 infusions are total parenteral nutrition solutions packaged in four-chambered infusion bags. They have been used as home parenteral nutrition, with various drugs injected into the infusion bags, for treating patient symptoms. In this study, we investigated the stability of six drugs, including famotidine, scopolamine butylbromide, furosemide, bromhexine hydrochloride, betamethasone sodium phosphate, and metoclopramide hydrochloride in the infusion bags under dark conditions at 4℃ for 7 days. Additionally, we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography method to determine drug concentrations in the infusions. The concentrations of injected famotidine, scopolamine butylbromide, and betamethasone sodium phosphate remained unchanged when the four chambers of Elneopa NF No. 1 and No. 2 were opened and the infusions were mixed. Their respective concentrations in the upper and lower chambers also remained unchanged. The concentration of furosemide in the upper chamber of the No. 1 infusion bag decreased after 5 days, although no change was observed in the other chambers and the mixed infusions with the four chambers opened. The concentration of bromhexine hydrochloride slightly decreased in the upper chambers (approximately 3%) after the co-infusion but decreased significantly in the other chambers and the mixed infusions with the four chambers opened. The concentration of metoclopramide hydrochloride significantly decreased in the upper chambers after the co-infusion; however, no change in concentration was observed in the other chambers and the mixed infusion with the four chambers opened. The results of this study provide useful information on home-based parenteral nutrition.
