In the present situation drug efficiency is lowered. It may not cause any harm but its working efficacy will be lower

Gemtide injection should be used as soon as it is taken out of refrigerator, if left outside for prolonged period it's efficacy or safety may be compromised. If the liquid appears cloudy or has particulate matter, then definitely do not use it. Otherwise also I would suggest to avoid it's use.
