1. A pharmaceutically-acceptable kit formulation for the preparation of a radioactive bone-seeking drug comprising at least three components, having a two part buffering system, including instructions for its use, for preparing a pharmaceutically-acceptable drug formulation of a radioisotope-DOTMP chelate, wherein the kit components are:
vial 1: lyophilized DOTMP, carbonate and an empirically determined amount of NaOH or KOH; which becomes a carbonate buffer after the addition of acid from vial 3;
vial 2: a calcium solution in a pharmaceutically-acceptable aqueous solvent; and
vial 3: a phosphate buffer in a pharmaceutically-acceptable aqueous solvent at a pH of about 7, optionally with pharmaceutically-acceptable preservatives, diluents, and excipients;
provided that the amount of each component of the above three vials is determined by the low dose or high dose kit desired to be administered to a patient;
provided that when the kit is constituted to form the drug at the time of use, a radioisotope selected from the group consisting of Sm-153, Gd-159, Ho-166, Lu-177, and Y-90 in HCl or HNO3 is added to vial 1 to achieve a pH of 9-10 and then adding vial 2 to form the drug.
