Important steps to follow to store your medicine safely

Keep Zegluxen® out of the sight and reach of children.1

Do not use Zegluxen® after the expiry date which can be found on the pen label and carton after ‘EXP’. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.1

Before opening:

Store in a refrigerator (2–8˚C). Keep away from the freezer compartment. Do not freeze.1

During use:

After first use, you can keep and use the pen for 30 days, as long as it is stored at a temperature below 30˚C or in a refrigerator (2–8˚C), away from the freezer compartment. Do not freeze.1

When you are not using the pen, keep the pen cap on to protect the medication from the light.1

Do not use this medicine if the solution is not clear and colourless or almost colourless.1

Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures will help protect the environment.1
