*Within an ISO Class V environment following aseptic technique.
†The ability to prevent microbial ingress for up to 168 hours should not be interpreted as modifying, extending or superseding a manufacturer's labeling recommendations for the storage and expiration dating of the drug vial. Refer to drug manufacturer’s recommendations and USP compounding guidelines for shelf life and sterility information.
