Reconstitution and Dilution information
- SPIONIC powder for solution for infusion needs to first be reconstituted with either 19 ml of Water for Injections or 19 ml of 9 mg/ml (0.9%) Sodium Chloride for Infusion to obtain an extractable volume of 20 ml of clear concentrate containing 10 mg/ml voriconazole.
- Discard the SPIONIC vial if the vacuum does not pull the diluent into the vial.
- It is recommended that a standard 20 ml (non-automated) syringe be used to ensure that the exact amount (19.0 ml) of Water for Injections or of 9 mg/ml (0.9%) Sodium Chloride for Infusion is dispensed.
- The required volume of the reconstituted concentrate is then added to a recommended compatible infusion solution listed below to obtain a final SPIONIC solution containing 0.5 to 5 mg/ml of voriconazole.
- This medicinal product is for single use only and any unused solution should be discarded and only clear solutions without particles should be used.
- Not for administration as a bolus injection.
- For storage information, please refer to Section 5 ‘How to store SPIONIC’.

If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and would normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2 to 8°C, unless reconstitution has taken place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions.
