Storing Rapivab, and how long it keeps
Quoted from this product’s own FDA label. Storage belongs to the product and its device, not to the drug in general — a pen and a tablet of the same medicine are kept completely differently.
- “Discard any unused diluted solution of RAPIVAB after 24 hours.”
- “Store vials of RAPIVAB injection in original cartons at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).”
- “Once a diluted solution of RAPIVAB has been prepared, administer immediately or store under refrigerated conditions (2° to 8°C or 36° to 46°F) for up to 24 hours.”
