Short answer: Store Egrifta SV 2 mg vials at room temperature, 68-77°F (20-25°C), in the Medication Box away from light. Keep the sterile water, syringes and needles at room temperature too. After mixing, use it right away and throw away any leftover. The label says do not store, freeze or refrigerate it once mixed. Source: Egrifta SV label, section 16 and Patient Information.
Section 16: “Store EGRIFTA SV 2 mg vial at room temperature at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Protect EGRIFTA SV from light by keeping in the original box until time of use.”
| Item | Storage | After mixing |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mg vial (powder) | 68-77°F (20-25°C), in the Medication Box | Use right away; throw away leftover |

Egrifta SV is a single-dose vial mixed with 0.5 mL of sterile water, which has no preservative. Patient Information: “After mixing, use EGRIFTA SV right away. Throw away any unused EGRIFTA SV after mixing. Do not store, freeze or refrigerate EGRIFTA SV after it has been mixed with the Sterile Water.”
The label notes that Egrifta SV and Egrifta WR differ in dose, mixing and storage. Do not apply one's rules to the other. See bacteriostatic vs sterile water and the tesamorelin page.
Unmixed vials have excursions allowed to 59-86°F (15-30°C). The label does not address a vial outside that range; ask your pharmacist. Before injecting, use only a solution that is clear, colorless and free of particles (section 2.2).
Egrifta SV travels at room temperature with no cold chain. Bring both boxes, since the vials and the sterile water are packed separately.
