    Convenient room temperature storage*
  • Use when refrigerating SOMAVERT is less convenient or not an option
  • For convenience, the one-day package and intermediate cartons in the 30-day package containing the SOMAVERT vial(s) may be stored at room temperature up to 77°F (25°C) for a single period of up to 30 days
    • In the space provided on the carton, record the date when the carton was removed from the refrigerator and the discard date (30 days after removal from the refrigerator)
    • Once the carton has been stored at room temperature, it should not be placed back into the refrigerator. If not used within 30 days at room temperature, the vial(s) should be discarded
  • The prefilled syringe(s) may be stored at a temperature up to 86ºF (30ºC) until the expiration date printed on the carton, at which point they should be discarded
  • Room temperature storage does not apply for the existing stock of SOMAVERT one-day packages. Current supplies of SOMAVERT one-day packages should still be stored in the refrigerator at 36ºF to 46ºF (2ºC-8ºC). You should follow the Package Insert instructions for the packaging you have.
