How should I store my compounded Custom anti-aging cream?
Short answer
Store Custom anti-aging cream exactly as the dispensing pharmacy’s label directs. Keep it in its original container, away from children, pets, heat, and direct light. Follow the labeled beyond-use date. Ask the pharmacy about refrigeration or temperature changes during shipping rather than assuming standard storage rules apply to your formula.
The pharmacy label is your main guide for storage. Compounded preparations can have storage needs that depend on their ingredients, base, and packaging. Keep Custom anti-aging cream in its original labeled container, and close it as directed after each use. Do not move it into a travel jar or another container unless the pharmacy says that is safe.
Keep it away from children and pets. Avoid leaving it in a hot car, on a sunny windowsill, or near a heat source. Ask the pharmacy whether your specific preparation needs refrigeration. Do not freeze or refrigerate it on your own if the label does not tell you to do so.
Use the cream only through the labeled beyond-use date. Contact the pharmacy if the container leaks or the cream changes color, smell, or texture. If the shipment arrives unusually hot or cold, ask the pharmacy whether it can be used. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
