According to the package leaflet, keep the pre-filled syringes in the outer carton in order to protect from light." It is about light emitted both by the sun and artificially (lamps, light bulbs, etc.). Always store the medicine in the outer carton (usually cardboard packaging). UV rays can lead to the breakdown of active substances, so not only will the drug not work, but its toxicity may also increase.
