Perforomist: Storage Methods

Perforomist can be stored at room temperature or under refrigeration. If you decide to keep Perforomist at room temperature, it is only good for three months (after which you must discard any unused vials). Either way, keep the vials in their original foil packages until just before use.
 
Keep Perforomist and all medications out of the reach of children.
 

Perforomist: What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you do not take your Perforomist as scheduled, simply skip the missed dose and continue with your schedule as usual. Taking two doses too close together can increase the risk of side effects. Never double the dose of Perforomist.
