What are the Ideal Storage Temperature for Penicillin?

Freshliance Thermis Tag time temperature indicator is specially designed for medical use. It is suitable for monitoring the temperature of penicillin. 

Penicillin is an antibiotic. It is used to treat infections caused by bacteria. It does not work on viral infections (such as colds and flu). Before penicillin was discovered in 1928 and later made into an antibiotic by a team led by scientist Howard Florey, having a simple scratch could lead to an infection that could kill. Using penicillin and other antibiotics has saved many thousands of lives. The storage conditions of antibiotics can have an impact on their effectiveness. 

Indeed, at a temperature above 30℃ and relative humidity above 60%, pharmaceutical presentations of antibiotics may lose their doses. Here are the storage tips for penicillin:

Admixture: All solutions should be stored in a refrigerator at 2º to 8ºC (36º to 46ºF). When refrigerated, penicillin solutions may be stored for seven days without significant loss of potency. The unused solution should be discarded after 7 days.

Reconstituted vial: Sterile constituted solution may be kept in the refrigerator (2° to 8°C) for 3 days without significant loss of potency.

Vial: Store dry powder at 20°-25°C (68°-77°F).

Thermis Tag Single-use LED temperature electronics indicators for medical use can be attached to penicillin packages to monitor its temperature during transportation and storage in cold chain logistics. Thermis Tag is widely used in various cold chain segments of the pharmaceutical industry, such as refrigerated containers, refrigerated trucks, freezers, medical cabinets, medical refrigerators, etc. This electronics temperature indicators is characterized by red, green and yellow indicators, which can indicate its alarm, ok and fault status. When the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, the irreversible alarm is promptly activated, which can help you find the abnormal situation of penicillin lest improper penicillin storage cause drug use accidents. This time temperature indicator is the ideal solution for monitoring penicillin, vaccines, proteins or any other temperature-sensitive products.
