Best practices for storing your Sermorelin medications safely.

Proper storage of your compounded Sermorelin, whether in injectable or oral tablet form, is essential to ensure its effectiveness and safety. Sermorelin can be sensitive to temperature, light, and moisture, so following these guidelines will help maintain its potency throughout your treatment.


🧊 General Storage Guidelines

Light and Moisture Protection

  • Keep Sermorelin in its original packaging to protect it from light and humidity.

  • Store in a dry place, away from sinks, stoves, windows, or direct sunlight.

Proper Handling

  • Always wash your hands before handling your medication.

  • When traveling, use an insulated cooler bag for injectables to maintain proper temperature and prevent damage.

  • Do not place vials directly on ice packs to avoid freezing.


💉 Injectable Sermorelin

Refrigeration

  • Store Sermorelin injectable vials in the refrigerator between 36°F and 46°F (2°C and 8°C).

  • Do not freeze. Freezing can degrade the medication and render it ineffective.

  • Keep vials upright and tightly sealed when not in use.

Before Use

  • Store unopened vials in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.

  • Keep in the original box to shield from light.

After Opening

  • Once opened, keep Sermorelin refrigerated at all times when not in use.

  • Inspect the solution before each injection—it should be clear and colorless.

    • If the medication appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particles, do not use it and contact your pharmacy or provider.

Transportation

  • When traveling, keep vials in a cooler bag with ice packs and a protective barrier (such as a cloth or sleeve) to prevent direct contact with ice.


💊 Oral Sermorelin Tablets

Room Temperature Storage

  • Store Sermorelin tablets at room temperature, ideally between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C).

  • Keep tablets in their original, tightly closed container to protect against light and moisture.

  • Do not refrigerate or freeze tablets, as moisture from refrigeration can degrade them.

Handling

  • Wash and dry your hands before removing a tablet.

  • Handle tablets with dry hands only.

  • Avoid exposing tablets to humidity, such as in bathrooms or near kitchen sinks.

Transportation

  • When traveling, tablets can be kept at room temperature.

  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.


🧍‍♂️ Additional Tips for Safe Medication Storage

Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets

Store Sermorelin securely in a location inaccessible to children and pets.

Check Expiration Dates

Do not use the medication past its expiration date. Always inspect before each use.

Avoid Humid Areas

Bathrooms and laundry rooms are not ideal storage environments. Choose a cool, dry location instead.

Proper Disposal

Do not flush unused or expired medication down the toilet or throw it in household trash. Ask your pharmacy about take-back programs for safe disposal.


⚠️ What to Do in Case of Temperature Excursions

  • For Injectables:

    • If Sermorelin has been frozen or exposed to heat above 77°F (25°C) for an extended time, do not use it. Contact your pharmacy or provider for a replacement.

  • For Tablets:

    • If Sermorelin tablets have been exposed to high heat or humidity, inspect for discoloration or crumbling. If the tablets appear altered, contact your pharmacy for guidance.


By following these best practices for storing your Sermorelin medications, you can ensure their safety, potency, and effectiveness throughout your treatment. Proper storage is essential for achieving the best possible results.
