Stability: Lack of data and/or stability concerns exist. MCA use may be acceptable but is likely to be off-label and require mitigation measures. Keep medicines in MCAs for the shortest time necessary. Generally, up to 5 weeks maximum unless otherwise specified, or up to 8 weeks if the MCA is airtight (sealed). Consider the risk of potency loss or dose variability and monitor for changes in efficacy or adverse effects after MCA initiation.
Notes: Valproate-containing medicines must always be dispensed in the manufacturer’s original full pack unless there are exceptional circumstances. The Patient Information Leaflet should be provided.

Protect from light. Moisture sensitive medicine. Store in airtight (sealed) MCA. No stability data in MCAs available.
