How to Store Omnitrope

Store Omnitrope in its original carton in a refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze or expose to freezing temperatures. Keep away from light and heat sources. Use within 28 days after first puncture or mixing, even if unused portions remain.[1]

Does Omnitrope Need Refrigeration After Mixing?

Yes, all forms—cartridges, pens, and vials—require refrigeration post-mixing or first use. Discard if left at room temperature (up to 77°F or 25°C) for more than 24 hours total, including travel or interruptions.[1]

What If Omnitrope Freezes or Gets Too Hot?

If frozen, discard immediately—do not thaw and reuse, as it may lose potency. If exposed to temperatures above 86°F (30°C), inspect for discoloration or particles; discard if compromised. Brief room-temperature exposure under 24 hours is acceptable if promptly returned to refrigeration.[1]

Travel Tips for Omnitrope

Carry in a cooler with ice packs during flights or trips. Airlines allow refrigerated medications; notify TSA and keep in original packaging with prescription label. Avoid checked luggage to prevent temperature swings.[1]
