STABILITY AND STORAGE
TOSITUMOMAB
Vials of Tositumomab (35 mg and 225 mg) should be stored refrigerated at 2oC-8oC (36oF-46oF) prior to dilution. Do not use beyond expiration date. Protect from strong light. DO NOT SHAKE. Do not freeze. Discard any unused portions left in the vial.
Solutions of diluted Tositumomab are stable for up to 24 hours when stored refrigerated at 2°C-8°C (36°F-46°F) and for up to 8 hours at room temperature. However, it is recommended that the diluted solution be stored refrigerated at 2°C-8°C (36°F-46°F) prior to administration because it does not contain preservatives. Any unused portion must be discarded. Do not freeze solutions of diluted Tositumomab.
IODINE I 131 TOSITUMOMAB
