(Insulin injection) I accidentally left it in a warm place, can I still use it?

A. Store at 2-8°C before opening, and at 25-30°C after opening.

 

 

 

Insulin is sensitive to temperature.

If exposed to temperatures higher than the storage temperature, medications can become denatured and lose their effectiveness.

 

If insulin has been stored in a warm place before opening, it is recommended not to use it.

 

Even when stored at low temperatures, care must be taken to avoid direct contact with the refrigerant or freezing.

Most unopened insulin is recommended to be stored in the refrigerator, but after opening, it should be kept at room temperature.

However, avoid heat and direct sunlight, and depending on the product, it should be discarded after 28 days of opening.

 

Please carefully read the instructions for use of the prescribed insulin injection.

Develop the habit of always checking storage conditions and expiration dates.

It is also important to develop the habit of writing the opening date on the syringe.

 

==============

It is important to check the storage temperature and expiration date for each product.

It would be a bit more convenient if you develop the habit of writing notes on the syringe.
