are recommended. If the product is to be given via the drinking water,
concentrations of between 50 and 200 ppm should be considered as suitable
working dilutions; concentrations in excess of 250 ppm should be avoided as
precipitation may occur. The dilution should be made on a daily basis
immediately prior to provision, preferably in a glass container. The use of a 0.5 ml
(100 unit) insulin syringe should be considered for the withdrawal of very small
volumes of the product and to facilitate dilution prior to administration. Medicated
fluids should be made up immediately prior to provision on a daily basis.
