Import Tips
• Include lyophilized vial specifications and reconstitution instructions; FDA requires bulk API sterility validation
• Monitor pH stability (6.4-7.2); improper storage causes succinate hydrolysis reverting to insoluble base
• Separate from human-use channels if veterinary grade to avoid FDA human drug import alerts
