Shelf life after changing packaging from syringe to bottle
Question
If a substance in a syringe has a shelf life of 60 days, will transferring it to a plastic bottle extend its shelf life?
Answer
Hello,
Based on the information provided and the staff's reply, the shelf life of the substance depends on its actual shelf life, which is indicated on the product label (the label includes both the packaging shelf life and the substance's actual shelf life).
Changing the packaging from a syringe to a plastic bottle does not automatically extend the shelf life of the substance itself. The 60-day period mentioned might be specific to the syringe packaging.
If the substance is stored under suitable conditions as recommended, its shelf life will be according to what is stated on the label, which may be longer than 60 days.
Therefore, changing the packaging does not extend the substance's shelf life. Rather, storing it under suitable conditions as indicated on the product label will ensure the substance's shelf life aligns with its actual shelf life.
Thank you.
