Can Colyte Be Refrigerated?

Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. The Colyte solution must be used within 48 hours of preparation even when stored refrigerated. After reconstitution the solution should not be consumed after 48 hours as it may be contaminated with microbes and is not absolutely safe for consumption.
Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
