Can I use DMPS as an admixture in a vitamin C IV formula?
Oxidation of DMPS is still of concern in this instance. Sodium bicarbonate is generally added to IV-C solutions to adjust the pH. This may cause oxidation, particularly if administered over the usual 2-3 hour time period for this type of IV. (Vitamin C is a reducing agent, it’s possible that it prevents the oxidation of DMPS but this has not been tested or documented.
