Preparation of solution for intravenous infusion: SALACLAV should be reconstituted as described previously for injection. Without delay the reconstituted solution should be added to 50 ml of water for injection or 50 ml sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%) solution using a mini-bag or in-line burette.

If SALACLAV is prescribed concurrently with an aminoglycoside, the antibiotics should not be mixed in the syringe, intravenous fluid container or giving set because loss of activity of the aminoglycoside can occur under these conditions.
