Does Protexin require any special storage methods?

We would recommend that Protexin is stored in dry, clean conditions, out of direct sunlight and kept sealed once the original container has been opened in order to exclude moisture and thermal decomposition. If refrigeration facilities are available, it would be of benefit.

Protexin is stable at room temperature for 24 months.  This has been determined by long term studies.  The product is regularly sampled at point of manufacture for long term stability testing to be carried out.
