Storage, disposal, and the signs worth a phone call.

Some preparations are refrigerated, others stay at room temperature and out of light. Never freeze a vial.

Dispose safely

Drop the whole syringe into an FDA-cleared sharps container, then use your local sharps program when it is full.

Watch the site
