If needed, you may be switched to a drug for this same condition that can be taken by mouth. Storage Store unopened vials at room temperature between 59 to 86 degrees F (15 to 30 degrees C). Once reconstituted the solution is good for 48 hours at room temperature or 14 days refrigerated. The color of the reconstituted solution may run from near-colorless to a pale-straw tint. Color may darken over time but this does not indicate a loss of potency. How To Use HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: This is given by injection into a muscle. It is usually given once a day for 2 to 4 months then reduced to 2 or 3 times a week depending on your condition and response. It is important to receive each dose as scheduled since antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. It may be necessary to continue therapy for tuberculosis for 1 to 2 years. Stopping therapy too soon may result in ineffective treatment.
