6.3   Shelf life

The expiry date of the product is indicated on the packaging materials.

6.4   Special precautions for storage

Store in a refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
StimoPeg may be exposed to room temperature (not above 25°C ±2°C) for a maximum single period of up to 15 days. If left at room temperature for more than 15 days it should be discarded.

Do not freeze. Accidental exposure to freezing temperatures for a single period of less than 24 hours does not adversely affect the stability of StimoPeg.

Keep the container in the outer carton, in order to protect from light.

6.5   Nature and contents of container

The needle cap of the pre-filled syringe contains dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex) (see section 4.4).

Each pre-filled syringe contains 0.6 ml of solution for injection. Pack size of one pre-filled syringe, in a blister package using paper and PVC film.

Not all pack sizes may be marketed.

6.6   Special precautions for disposal and other handling
Before administration, StimoPeg solution should be inspected visually for particulate matter. Only a solution that is clear and colorless should be injected.

Excessive shaking may aggregate pegfilgrastim, rendering it biologically inactive.

Allow the pre-filled syringe to reach room temperature before injecting.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
