Lyophilized Trimix Storage

[rogerhyhubby]

Does anyone know how long I can store lyophilized (freeze dried) trimix at room temperature? I am taking a month long trip and I am unable to pickup the medication from the shipping warehouse.

Thanks

I have zero expertise in this area but I am doing the same thing. I have a 3 week trip, then a 7 week trip. I am taking liquid TriMix, kept as frozen or as cold as I can manage, and will use it for as long as it lasts. As backup, I have two lyophilized vials and bacteriostatic water. It is my belief that the lyophilized powder will stay fresh at room temps for as long as I may need it. (I'm tempted to say "indefinitely" but nothing is forever.)

If anyone knows better, please advise.

P. S. I'm on a 9-day trip right now and am following the same strategy. The liquid is performing just fine so I doubt I'll need to reconstitute the lyophilized vials but I brought one just in case.

I would be more worried about the shipping warehouse sending it back, or it getting lost or something on that end. Make absolutely sure that you have arrangements locked down.
Once you get it, I think it should be ok if the warehouse was reasonably temperature controlled.
Once had a lyophilized batch sent and was 7-8 months before I was able to reconstitute, and seemed to work fine.
