SHASUN STREPTOKINASE - CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS: PRIMARY EFFICACY

SHASUN STREPTOKINASE:Formulation & Stability Many streptokinase brands have Human Serum Albumin (HSA) present in their formulation as a stabilizer. Shasuns rSK is inherently stable in the absence of albumin & this has been proven with the following stability studies:Long-term stability at 5 3C,Accelerated stability at 25 2C, Stress Testing at 37 2C, Stability after reconstitution at 5 3C.
