How should I store my bottle of Custom antimicrobial rinse?
Short answer
Store Custom antimicrobial rinse exactly as the dispensing pharmacy’s label directs. Keep it in its original, tightly closed bottle, away from children and pets. Follow the printed beyond-use date. Do not assume it needs refrigeration, and ask your pharmacist if the storage directions are missing or unclear.
Follow the storage directions on the bottle from the dispensing pharmacy. Compounded medicines may have storage needs that depend on the exact formula and container. Do not assume this rinse should be refrigerated or frozen. If the label does not give clear directions, contact the pharmacy before choosing a storage location.
Keep the rinse in its original bottle with the cap tightly closed. Avoid places with strong heat, direct sunlight, or large temperature changes unless the pharmacy instructs otherwise. Keep the measuring cup clean and follow the pharmacy’s cleaning advice. Do not pour unused rinse from the cup back into the bottle.
Check the printed beyond-use date, which tells you when the compounded medicine should no longer be used. Do not save it for a later dental problem. Ask the pharmacy about unexpected changes in color, smell, or texture, or if the bottle leaks. Store it securely away from children and pets. The xylitol in this rinse can be dangerous to dogs if swallowed.
