Keep your Combivent inhaler at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive humidity. Improper storage can affect the medication’s potency.
Proper Storage Locations
A cool, dry place, away from bathrooms and kitchens, is ideal. Consider a medicine cabinet or a drawer in a climate-controlled area of your home. Never store it in the refrigerator.
Safe Disposal
Once your prescription expires or you’re finished with your inhaler, don’t throw it in the trash. Many pharmacies offer take-back programs. Check with your local pharmacy for details. Alternatively, follow your local guidelines for disposing of medications, often involving mixing the contents with undesirable substances like kitty litter before discarding.
