INDICES> Re: Na benzoate in hyperammonemia (Cont)

Hi, Joe--

Are you giving this IV?  If so, have a look at

http://divis17.ped-gen.uiowa.edu/genetics/HyperAmmonemiaTx.html

for a treatment protocol.

I don't know of a commercial product.  The salt is freely
soluble in water, and one could prepare an injectable
aqueous solution by dissolving in sterile water then 
double-filtering with a 0.22 micron filter.  Trissel's
might have info on whether this stuff is heat labile or
not.  If it's not, then you could autoclave it.
