Lyophilized (unreconstituted) GHK-Cu powder stores much longer: Frozen at -20C: 18-24 months Refrigerated at 2-8C: 12-18 months Room temperature: 2-4 months maximum If you won't use a vial within 30 days of reconstitution, consider reconstituting smaller amounts more frequently rather than mixing everything at once
Always calculate and report the correct number of units based on the actual dose administered as documented in the medication administration record (MAR)
