How to Store Zomacton

Store unmixed Zomacton (somatropin) powder cartridges at room temperature, between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C), away from light, heat, and moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze the unmixed powder.[1]

Once mixed with the diluent, refrigerate the solution at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) and use within 21 days. Protect from light and do not freeze. Discard any unused portion after 21 days.[1]

What If It's Already Mixed?

Mixed Zomacton must stay refrigerated at all times. Let it reach room temperature before injecting, but return it to the fridge right after use. Avoid shaking the cartridge.[1]

Can Zomacton Be Traveled With?

For unmixed powder, room temperature storage works for short trips. For mixed solution, use a cooler with ice packs to maintain refrigeration. Airlines allow it as a medical necessity with documentation.[1][2]

Shelf Life and Expiration

Unmixed cartridges expire per the labeled date if stored properly. Mixed solution lasts 21 days max from mixing, even if the powder hasn't expired. Check for cloudiness or particles before use—discard if present.[1]

Common Storage Mistakes to Avoid

• Freezing any form, which ruins potency.
  
• Leaving mixed solution out longer than 3 hours.
  
• Exposing to direct sunlight or temperatures over 86°F.
  Always keep the pen device clean and dry.[1]
