Rituximab vials should always be stored in the refrigerator. Do not freeze or shake the vials, and they should be protected from direct sunlight.

Do not use the vial beyond the expiration date stamped on the carton it came with.

On the other hand, rituximab solutions for infusion can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Rituximab solutions for infusion have been shown to be stable for an additional 24 hours at room temperature. However, since rituximab solutions do not contain a preservative, diluted solutions should be stored in the refrigerator.
