Drotaverine (hydrochloride) is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous
buffers, drotaverine (hydrochloride) should first be dissolved in DMF and then diluted with the aqueous
buffer of choice. Drotaverine (hydrochloride) has a solubility of approximately 0.16 mg/ml in a 1:5 solution of DMF:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.
