34. Which of the following is an injectable medication that should be stored under refrigeration?
Answer: C
Vivitrol is an injectable medication that should be stored under refrigeration.
Vivitrol, used for the treatment of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence, requires refrigeration to maintain its stability and efficacy.
A) Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera is a contraceptive injection, but it does not require refrigeration for storage. It can be stored at room temperature, making it an incorrect choice in this context.
B) Detrol
Detrol is an oral medication used to treat overactive bladder. Since it is not an injectable medication and does not require refrigeration, this option is also incorrect.
C) Vivitrol
Vivitrol is indeed an injectable medication that should be stored under refrigeration. This is essential for preserving its potency and ensuring it remains effective for treatment purposes.
D) Vyvanse
Vyvanse is a medication used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is administered orally, not as an injectable. It does not require refrigeration, thus making this option incorrect.
Conclusion
Vivitrol is the only option that meets the criteria of being an injectable medication requiring refrigeration. Both Depo-Provera and Detrol do not fit the injectable requirement, while Vyvanse is not injectable and does not require refrigeration. Therefore, Vivitrol is definitively the correct answer.
