Stability After Reconstitution

XOLAIR is for single use only and contains no preservatives.

Following reconstitution, the solution should be used for

subcutaneous administration within 8 hours if it has been

refrigerated in the vial at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F); if it has

been stored at room temperature after reconstitution, it should be

administered within 4 hours. Reconstituted XOLAIR vials should be

protected from direct sunlight
