TYMLOS goes where you go
TYMLOS doesn’t require refrigeration after its first use. So you can keep it at home, or take it with you in your bag or purse. And when you travel with a pen after the first use, you don't need to bring cold packs with you. Only unused pens need to be kept cold.
Before first use, store your TYMLOS in the refrigerator between 36ºF and 46ºF (2ºC to 8ºC)
After first use, store TYMLOS for up to 30 days at room temperature between 68ºF and 77ºF (20ºC to 25ºC)
Do not store pens with the needle attached, and always keep the pen cap on when not using it
Do not freeze the TYMLOS pen or expose it to heat
Taking TYMLOS
TYMLOS doesn’t have to be taken in the doctor’s office
You can take TYMLOS with or without food
Take TYMLOS at about the same time each day. You can choose a time that you think will be convenient for you
Be sure to take the first several doses of TYMLOS in a place where you can sit or lie down until you know how it affects you, just in case you feel lightheaded
