*: The bacterial endotoxin test 2.6.14 prescribed in EP monograph 1664 is problematic with A lhydrogel, since

the phosphate residues of LPS (used as positive control and standard curve) bind unspecifically to Alhydrogel.

This opinion is shared by the Danish Medicines Agency. We carry out the pyrogenicity test on the liquid phase

of the product according to the EP 2.6.8 instead of the bacterial endotoxin test.

Shelf life: 26 months after production date.

Store at room temperature. Protect from freezing. Shake well before use.
