Store Elase Chloromycetin Ointment at room temperature, between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). Keep the tube tightly closed to protect the ointment from moisture and light. This helps maintain its potency.
The ointment typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date. Check the expiration date printed on the tube. Discard the ointment after this date, even if it appears unchanged. Using expired ointment may reduce its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation.
Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and freezing. Improper storage can degrade the active ingredients, diminishing the ointment’s therapeutic benefits.
If you notice any changes in the ointment’s appearance, such as a change in color, odor, or consistency, dispose of it immediately and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
