The exact wording

Section 16: “Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15°-30°C (59°-86°F) [see USP controlled room temperature].”

Medication Guide: “Store ADDYI at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).” “Keep ADDYI and all medicines out of the reach of children.”

Carton and bottle: “Attention Pharmacist: Dispense in original packaging. Dispense the accompanying Medication Guide to each patient.”

The two sections differ as printed: section 16 sets one point, 77°F (25°C), with excursions to 59°-86°F; the Medication Guide gives 68°F to 77°F and no excursions.
