Stability Information
(Some stability information inherited from generic)
- 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
-
Light sensitive medicine. Store in light resistant container. Moisture sensitive medicine. Store in airtight (sealed) MCA. Provided sufficient protection from moisture, stability data supports 6 weeks in MCA. Anecdotal reports of use in MCAs (low quality evidence).
