How you store your insulins before and after you open the vials or cartridges is most important. |
| |
|
Unopened insulins are:
- best kept in the refrigerator.
- This provides a constant temperature
- and they can be kept until the manufacturer's expiration date shown on the vial or pen.
|
| |
|
- If unopened vials or pens are stored at room temperature, they can be kept for only more limited periods of time.
- At all times, the manufacturer's instructions should be studied and followed.
|
| |
|
Opened vials are:
- best stored in the refrigerator to provide a constant temperature.
- Whether refrigerated or not, opened vials are only good for 28 days.
|
| |
|
- Once opened, whether stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature, pens or cartridges in use are only good for the limited period of time
- stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
