Methods for preparing just before administration unit doses of therapeutic solutions which contain redox active unstable and/or diffusable metabolites such as a ketoacid, a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid, or carbon dioxide. The method involves preparing and storing an aqueous solution of stable components which may or may not contain carbon dioxide. A dry powder comprised of unstable components is also prepared and stored separately. These separate component compositions are packaged in, for example, individual chambers (11 and 12) of a common sealed container (10) which is so constructed as to permit the opening, by externally applied manual means or the like, of a passageway (14a and 14b) between such chambers (11 and 12) at the time when usage is contemplated. Thus, a fresh solution in desired full dosage form is preparable just before administration. Improved container structures for practice of this method are also provided. |
