Cerebrolysin Storage: How to Maintain Its Benefits

Official Cerebrolysin Storage Requirements
Cerebrolysin is a nootropic peptide derived from porcine brain tissue, consisting of neuropeptides (20%) and amino acids (80%). Its mechanism of action involves activating endogenous defense mechanisms like neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis. Available only in injectable form (2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml), Cerebrolysin has been extensively researched for its effects on brain homeostasis and peptide composition.
Like any medication, Cerebrolysin has specific storage requirements to ensure its effectiveness is preserved. As per its manufacturer`s recommendations it must be stored at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C, and should never be frozen. If the solution has been kept in the refrigerator, it should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening the vial. Additionally, Cerebrolysin needs to be protected from light, preferably stored in its original carton. It is important to note the shelf life of the product, which is 5 years, ensuring that it is used within this time frame for optimal effectiveness.
Cerebrolysin Storage in Practice
Cerebrolysin is stored in specialized warehouse facilities designed to maintain strict temperature control. The temperature is consistently regulated between 18-22°C (66-72°F), ensuring optimal conditions for the preservation of the medication. These systems operate year-round, regardless of external weather conditions, to maintain a stable environment. This controlled setup minimizes the risk of temperature fluctuations that could compromise the product’s stability and effectiveness, ensuring it remains within the required storage parameters from arrival to distribution.
During transit, optimal temperature conditions are typically maintained to protect the product’s integrity, minimizing the risk of it being compromised. Yet, during transportation to our warehouse or the client’s location, the storage temperature of Cerebrolysin may occasionally exceed the recommended limits. However, this should not affect the product’s quality or efficacy. To date, there have been no reported issues of Cerebrolysin becoming unusable due to heat during transportation. This indicates that the storage and shipping procedures in place effectively safeguard the product’s stability.
Clients often inquire about proper home storage conditions for Cerebrolysin, particularly when it has been exposed to heat or sunlight. Concerns usually arise when the product has been left in hot environments, such as under direct sunlight or in areas with very high temperatures.
According to the manufacturer’s guidelines, Cerebrolysin should be stored at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C (77°F), and should not be exposed to temperatures above 30°C (86°F). Prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight could potentially affect the stability of the product. While Cerebrolysin is packaged in protective containers to reduce light sensitivity, high temperatures may still reduce its effectiveness over time. However, in most cases, short-term exposure to heat is unlikely to significantly degrade the product, and no severe effects are typically reported even after several hours in hot conditions.
Conclusion
To sum up, it is advisable to avoid exposing Cerebrolysin to direct sunlight or high temperatures whenever possible. While occasional exposure to such conditions is unlikely to completely compromise the product, storing Cerebrolysin under the recommended conditions is the best way to ensure its full efficacy is maintained.
