Pharmacology
Storage
Sporium oral solution should be used within 2 months of opening the bottle and be stored between 15 to 30° C, preferably not below 20° C for prolonged periods, as it contains oily components which tend to solidify at low temperatures. A jelly-like formation may occur below 20° C, which is reversible at temperatures up to 30° C. Slight sediment may still be observed which does not affect the efficacy and safety of the product.
