Abstract IPA COPYRIGHT: ASHP Eight gel formulations containing calcium gluconate were prepared and evaluated for incompatibilities and microbiological stability. A formulation containing 2.5% calcium gluconate and 3% hydroxyethyl cellulose as a gel forming agent with no preservatives gave the best results. This gel was stable for at least 6 months when stored at room temperature. Some precipitation occurred in all other gel formulations.
