The preparation of a stable buffered solution of ascorbic acid suitable for parenteral administration is described. Trisodium phosphate is used to buffer the solution at pH 6.0 to 6.5. Manufacture and storage are done in an atmosphere of nitrogen to prevent oxidation. Sterilization is accomplished by heating sealed ampuls for ten minutes at 100°. This is made possible by filling into small-size ampuls (2 cc.) and by incorporating phenol in a concentration of 0.5 per cent.
