How should I store my compounded Dual-action chew?
Short answer
Store Dual-action chew according to the pharmacy label, including any temperature limits and its beyond-use date. Keep it in its original packaging, away from children and pets. Do not assume it needs refrigeration. Ask the dispensing pharmacy what to do if the troches melt, change appearance, or face extreme temperatures.
The dispensing pharmacy's label is the best guide for storing Dual-action chew. Compounded troches can have storage needs that depend on their ingredients and base. Follow the stated temperature range and any directions about light or moisture. Do not refrigerate or freeze the medicine unless the label or pharmacist tells you to.
Keep the troches in their original labeled packaging, securely stored away from children and pets. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or in a damp bathroom. Keep the label available so you can check the strength, directions, and beyond-use date. Do not use the medicine after that date without speaking with the pharmacy.
If the package arrives hot, the troches melt, or their color or texture changes, contact the dispensing pharmacy before using them. Appearance alone cannot confirm that a medicine is safe to use. Ask the pharmacist how to dispose of unused troches. Dual-action chew is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and is not FDA-approved.
