Re: Levothyroxine injection

That's my point... there is no extended stability... everything says discard immediately.

Re: Levothyroxine injection

For all to share.
I found this in Micromedex....See the following

1) INTRAVENOUS - PIGGYBACK

a) ........... Stability tests have indicated that levothyroxine is stable for up to 48 hours following reconstitution, if retained in the original vial.......

Re: Levothyroxine injection

Does it need refrigeration? Our Micromedex last night said discard immediately... Our techs will be happy if I can find this info as well.

It is listed under the "Admistration" section "Intravenous - piggyback". It doesn't say to refrigerate, but we will be refrigerating it.
