How long can opened Afrezza be stored at room temperature?

Afrezza, an inhaled insulin, has specific storage considerations to ensure its efficacy and safety. When opened, Afrezza can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. This time frame is crucial because insulin can degrade or lose its effectiveness if stored improperly, particularly beyond the recommended period at room temperature.

This 3-day guideline helps to ensure that users receive the correct dosage and maintain blood glucose levels effectively. After this period, it is important to discard any unused medication to avoid potential ineffectiveness. This careful management of storage aligns with general best practices for handling injectable or inhaled medications, which often have strict temperature controls to preserve their activity.
