Norvir also has special storage requirements

April 1996

Norvir also has special storage requirements...because it's sensitive to heat.

In the pharmacy, keep both Norvir capsules and the oral solution in the refrigerator until you dispense it to the patient.

Warn patients they must also keep the CAPSULES refrigerated. They might even have to arrange to keep the capsules cool on the way home. A 30 minute trip at room temperature is probably okay...but longer times or higher temperatures may not be safe.
