Purpose: To determine the stability of compounded sweetened vancomycin oral formulations in plastic unit dose cups stored up to 180 days under 2 temperature conditions: refrigeration (2°C-6°C) and room temperature (25°C with 60% relative humidity).

Methodology: A stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to analyze vancomycin in the presence of degradation peaks. The stability of extemporaneously compounded vancomycin solution stored in oral unit dose cups was investigated using this method.
