Handling, storage and disposal
Summaries only, follow the supplier SDS for your grade
Storage
Ranitidine hydrochloride tablets or soln should be stored in a dry place @ 15-30 °C in tight, light-resistant containers. The oral soln should be stored in a tight, light-resistant container @ 4-25 °C. Ranitidine hydrochloride injection and the commercially available injection of the drug in 0.45% sodium chloride should be protected from light and stored @ 4-30 °C, however, it is preferable that the latter preparation be stored @ room temp (25 °C), although brief exposure to temp up to 40 °C will not adversely affect stability, and that freezing be avoided. Slight darkening of the injection will not affect potency. /Ranitidine hydrochloride/
