What storage conditions are needed for this medicine?Return to top
Store insulin in the refrigerator. Never allow insulin to freeze; do not use insulin that has been frozen and thawed. Never heat insulin to warm it.
If no refrigerator is available (e.g., when on vacation), store the bottle at room temperature and away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Discard any insulin that has been exposed to extreme heat or cold. When traveling, protect your insulin bottles from bumps or other rough handling (wrap them in clothes in the middle of a suitcase). Do not keep insulin in hot areas of a car such as the glove compartment and trunk.
When traveling by airplane, do not put insulin in checked luggage since the luggage may be lost. Always keep insulin with you or in carry-on luggage. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
