Ketamine expiration

[copium7777]

I am trying to figure out how long ketamine in a compounded spray solution takes to break down if kept in a relatively cool dark place. It is prescription nasal spray solution, not powdered, not vacuum sealed like iv ketamine but it is still relatively sterile stored in the original container in a dark cabinet. I am trying to figure out the rate at which it would lose potency, how quickly it would break down not just an expiration date as I am trying to dose an older bottle somewhat accurately for pain management.

There isn't anything that really screams to be readily hydrolyzable in ketamine, so I don't think it will be completely degraded, but I am not quite sure exactly the shelf life and what would go first.

Basic advice would be to try a dose and then gauge from there.

By the way, opening multiple duplicate threads clutters up the forum, and I suspect that you may get better answers here than in BDD, so I will close that one and see who chimes in here.

Do any of the more chemistry oriented bluelighters have any idea about this?

Store in airtight container, out of sunlight. Should still be good in 100 years!
