3.1-gram Vials and 31-gram Pharmacy Bulk Packages of TIMENTIN for Injection should be stored at or below 25°C (77°F).
GALAXY Containers (PL 2040 Plastic) of TIMENTIN Injection should be stored at or below -20°C (-4°F). Avoid unnecessary handling of containers.
Thawing of Plastic Containers: Thaw frozen container at room temperature 22°C (72°F) or in a refrigerator 4°C (39°F). [Do not force thaw by immersion in water baths or by microwave irradiation.] Check for minute leaks by squeezing container firmly. If leaks are detected discard solution as sterility may be impaired. Do not add supplementary medication.
The container should be visually inspected. Thawed solutions should not be used unless clear; solutions will be light to dark yellow in color. Components of the solution may precipitate in the frozen state and will dissolve upon reaching room temperature with little or no agitation. If, after visual inspection, the solution remains cloudy or if an insoluble precipitate is noted or if any seals or outlet ports are not intact, the container should be discarded.
The thawed solution is stable for 24 hours at room temperature 22°C (72°F) or for 7 days under refrigeration 4°C (39°F).
Do not refreeze.[1]
